Install cryptography pip package in airgapped network about cp-ansible HOT 3 OPEN

Im stuck in this exact step.

My suggestions:

• From an internet accessible machine run pip download cryptography -d <local directory on distribution server>. It downloads a bunch of .whl files called wheels. I have no clue what a "wheel" is. I have noticed, based on your exact linux version, it downloads different number of .whl files. So I suggest you run the command from another RHEL 9.3 machine.
• Copy all the .whl files to your managed nodes and run pip install command for each .whl file. Eg., pip install crypto-blah-blah.whl.

We are running Rocky 8.9 and given an airgapped network, I cant find another rocky 8.9 to run the download command from.

Let me know how that goes. I'll do the same till someone from Confluent updated the docs.

All the best!

Just found out that you can also download the crypto package from here. It lists different types based on your machine.
