To install Cloudera Manager and CDH on hosts that do not have Internet connectivity, the procedure is basically the following:
- Choose the version of Cloudera Manager and download the rpm/deb files for it
- Choose the version of CDH and other products and download the parcel or package version of them
- Set up local repositories for these
- Install Cloudera Manager and use that to install CDH on your cluster

This is all listed in the following set of documents

You will require Internet connection on all the nodes unless you set up an
RPM and Parcel repository for the cluster to download from. The Path A
install is not recommended unless you want to make a quick demo or the
cluster is very short lived.

Thank you for quich reply,

I am planning to install CDH5.x on production environment. If Path-A is for quick demo then which is a preferable method to install CDH5.x?
