Layout location has no internet connection. Can JMRI be upgraded with the executables off line?

Thank you

Yes, JMRI doesn't require anything off the internet while installing.

Download the exe/dmg/tgz as appropriate for your target opsys to a removable media (SD card/USB drive/etc).
Sneakernet to your target machine.
No Internet needed for install from the removable media.

Not a problem to upgrade offline.
Just remember to read the release notes in case you need to take extra steps.
In the past we have had JAVA updates, database reformatting, etc.
These are listed in the release notes, so read them for any special instructions.
Nothing special, copy offline on a thumb drive and go to it.

Remember to also copy anything else you might need to the ThumbDrive too (like a new version of JAVA on the rare occasions one is needed)

Might be a good idea to save (or "print to PDF") the release notes onto the ThumbDrive too just in case you need to refer back to them when upgrading

And make sure your offline machine has the necessary unpack/unzip utility installed

I did an upgrade from 4.24 to 5.3.5 including uninstalling J8 and installing J11 all from a thumb drive on a mate’s Windows 10 computer yesterday in about 10 minutes. ?It’s just not that hard….

Thanks to all!
