Install CVB on a Ubuntu 20.04 server without an internet connection

Hi @ASchmitt

for me it looks like Codemeter cannot be installed.
If you are working with CameraSuite licenses that are provided when purchasing cameras from Stemmer Imaging, you dont necessarily need Codemeter.

From our knowledgebase:
In some cases you might want to have a minimalistic installation of Cvb. When only using the Camerasuite, you dont necessarily need the Codemeter runtime.

However when installing Cvb using the debian packets, the installation wizzard will prompt you with the warning, that Cvb depends on the Codemeter runtime (which ist true for dongle and node locked licensing). However, you can force (dpkg --force-all -i <name of the .deb files you downloaded>) the installation to continue without Codemeter as this should not have any impact on the functionality if only using Camerasuite.

If you set up Cvb using the tar.gz packets, you can also skip the Codemeter related files.

Now Codemeter is not the only thing that is being installed.
There are some parts of CVB that depend on .NET Core which is also being installed/ downloaded from the internet. Still, if you are not planning on using those parts, you dont need to install them.
CVB will work nonetheless as we dont have hard dependencies on those packets.

If you find yourself in need of any of the packets that can not be installed as they require an active internet connection, you can still change the install.sh to provide those packets manually.

I hope this helps!
Cheers
