How to install manually without internet?

Help make content visible

Link only describes how to install with the command line dotnet workload install maui but I would like to know how to get the package manually and extract it to my own dotnet path

Describe the new article

The dotnet package can be obtained in an archive without the installer, and extracted manually to a folder. This allows me to setup a machine without access to internet for developing dotnet applications. But there is no instruction on how to do this for MAUI.

Hi @lampuiho

You can do this with Visual Studio by creating something called a local layout. For more info see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/create-an-offline-installation-of-visual-studio?view=vs-2022 and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73756032/how-to-create-a-local-layout-for-maui-and-install-it-offline

But that's for installing to a Visual studio install not the portable version of dotnet?
