Install without internet is much easier if you use the older Arduino IDE, version 1.8.19. In that case, you need just 2 files, one for Arduino IDE and the other for Teensyduino. Get the IDE from Arduino's website, and download Teensyduino here:
www.pjrc.com
No internet connection is needed with Arduino IDE 1.8.19 once you have downloaded these install files.
Or for modern MacOS (Catalina or newer) it's just a single large download. The 2 install approach used on Windows and Linux is only possible on old MacOS (Mojave) because the "notarization" process Apple added with Catalina doesn't allow any program to modify another.
With Arduino IDE 2.2.x, I'm afraid the situation isn't so simple. Arduino designed it to install stuff over the internet.

Hi Paul,
I am new here, but I work with the Teensy 4.1 since some years. I use the Arduino IDE 1.8.13 in a Windows 10 system, which has no internet connection. It works fine.
Now I have seen that there is an Arduiono IDE 2.x available with new interesting features. But I have also seen that there is no possibility to install TeensyDuino offline.
I see three options for me:
1. Continue working with 1.8.xx
2. Waiting for an offline version
3. Installing on an online system and transfer the running system to the stand alone machine
Do you think that point 3 is possible and how to do? Please can you give me a hint?
Peter

Pretty sure Arduino isn't going to go back to offline usage, so option #2 probably isn't viable.
Option #3 might work. To give it a try, find your hidden AppData folder and look for Arduino15/packages/teensy. Perhaps if you just copy that entire teensy folder to the AppData Arduino15/packages folder on the other (offline) computer, maybe it could work? Or maybe not. I really don't know for sure, but if you're going to try, that's what I'd do first.
Since this is Windows, before you copy anything from the online computer, I'd do a reboot just in case anything is lingering in memory from previous usage. Windows tends to block access to certain types of files in those circumstances. Best to reboot and then copy the files before you run any programs, so you get the best chance of actually getting a full copy of everything.
If you give this a try, please let everyone know if it worked. I'm sure other people will have this same question in the future. Would be nice for them if you could share a conclusive answer about whether it really works or not.
