I've just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and there no internet connection.

Firstly I've tried sudo apt-get install aptitude, but it says that there's no installation for this.

Then I downloaded on USB memory apt_0.8.3ubuntu6_amd64.deb package (as I understood that this package has aptitude installation) and installed it. Then I tried sudo apt-get install aptitude and again no success.

To install aptitude without internet you first need to have it with all of its dependencies.

Go to: http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/aptitude to grab aptitude and all of its dependencies.

Put all the deb packages inside a folder and when on the PC you want to install aptitude go to the folder in the terminal and do sudo dpkg -i *.deb

It will install aptitude with all of the dependencies in that folder.

NOTE - I am also one of those that enjoys Aptitude over apt-get, not only because you do everything from one single command but when you do a show, search or install it is more human friendly than the other.
