title: Create conda environment on local server?
body: <p>I wanted to create an environment on my local server like <code>conda create -n py3</code>, but conda tries to connect to the remote repository:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Fetching package metadata ...Could not connect to https://repo.continuum.io/pkgs/pro/linux-64/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I create environment on my local server in offline-mode?</p>
