Nutils for offline use #85

Closed MakisH closed 5 months ago

MakisH commented 5 months ago

In https://github.com/precice/vm/pull/71, I removed Nutils as tutorials now install it on first run. However, we still sometimes need to run Nutils in offline environments (e.g., a course during a conference, in a remote room, with strange Wi-Fi access, if at all).

Maybe having a default Nutils installation isn't a bad idea after all.

Are there really cases, where we have no internet? We then probably have more problems :D Isn't there a way to cache things from PyPI without installing? -> #81 Having user-wide installations of Python packages will anyway be discouraged eventually, so what we have right now sounds more sustainable to me.

The main case I think is that externals come to a conference in Stuttgart. Is there guest wlwn there?

Let's ignore this for now and reopen if we see an actual issue in the wild.
