I'm using an Archer T2U v3 on my Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 system and on a Linux Mint system based on these Ubuntu versions. It works flawlessly with the driver directly provided by TP-Link from [their website](https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/archer-t2u/#Driver) (with kernel version 2.6.18~5.0). Following [the installation guide](https://static.tp-link.com/2018/201812/20181207/Installation%20Guide%20for%20Linux.pdf) , I just had to run make to compile their driver and load it using sudo insmod 88x2bu.ko. Recently I upgraded my system and found that the make command doesn't work from Ubuntu 18.04 onward; it says make should be installed first. So I did some research and have already gone through these links: * TP-Link AC600 Archer T2U Nano driver for Ubuntu 18.04 * Need rtl8814au driver for kernel 5.3 on Ubuntu 19.10 * Archer T2U Plus driver for Linux Ubuntu/Rasbian * RTL8812AU/21AU and RTL8814AU Wireless drivers for Linux According to these I'll have to execute these commands:
sudo apt install git dkms 
git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git  
cd rtl8812au 
sudo make dkms_install
There is a problem: I cannot access the Internet directly on this PC even through USB tethering (mobile is not allowed in the workplace). Can I somehow install these packages (dkms, git, build-essential, linux-headers) from another working machine on this machine? Can I install those packages in offline mode?
