Thanks goatpig - Are there any resources on how to build from the source?

Also, I noted in the Rothbart thread that you mentioned "I'll fix the CPU fuckery for the next version if you wanna revisit this in ~1 month" - if that means I just need to wait 1 month to be able to install the next offline release on my older computer, that would work fine for me too.

Yep, older CPU. Build from source on the target machine.

Thanks for the help!  I installed Unbuntu 14.04.5, and then used the "armory_0.96.2-ubuntu14.04-amd64_offline.tar.gz" file to install Armory and the dependencies and everything seemed to go fine (Ubuntu Software Center says they're both installed).  However, when I try to launch Armory (Offline), nothing happens.

Am I having the same problem as Rothbart with my processor?  My computer has an "Intel  Pentium D CPU 2.80 GHz x 2"...

Since you're using 16.04, I think you're probably going to run into the same issue as Rothbart did here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.21677920

Short answer is you'll still be missing dependencies on 16.04, but these are included as part of the base distro for 14.04.

From the terminal, browse to the folder with the .deb files and type the following command:

Code:
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Thank you - I grabbed the "armory_0.96.2-ubuntu14.04_amd64.deb" file you linked to, copied it to the offline computer, and extracted it to the desktop to get the resulting "0.96.2-ubuntu14.04-amd64_offline" folder.  However, the two .deb files in that folder ("armory_0.96.2-ubuntu14.04_amd64.deb" and "python-psutil_21.2.1-1uuntu2_amd64.deb") open as GUI's with "Install" button, but nothing happens when you click those "Install" buttons.

Apologies in advance if this is basic Linux/Ubuntu stuff - I'm not an experienced user.

0.96.0 does not have offline packages. You must install Armory 0.96.2 which has offline packages, available here: https://btcarmory.com/0.96.2-release/

I'm trying to do an offline Armory install on Unbuntu 16.04.3 LTS running on a computer that is not connected to the internet, but the "0.96.0 for Ubuntu/Debian 64-bit with GCC 5.3" install file doesn't appear to have the dependencies needed to complete that install offline.

Is there a way to get those dependencies without connecting my computer to the internet? Do I need  to install an older release of Armory if I want to do the offline cold storage/online watch only wallet?  Or is it something else?

Thanks in advance.
