How can I install cbindgen on a machine without internet access?

There is not really any difference to any other normal Rust project. You could use cargo vendor, and copy the sources to the offline machine and compile there. Alternatively, you could also (cross-) compile cbindgen for your target machine and copy the binary. Compiling for a different machine can be difficult, since your local machine might e.g. have a newer glibc than the target machine, which could lead to issues when executing the binary on the target machine. If your target system runs Linux, then compiling for -musl usually avoids such problems.
