No parcels found from the configured repositories.

[#1]

My cloudera manager machine will not have access to the internet.

I have downloaded all the parcel files and manually uploaded them into the /opt/cloudera/parcels directory

[root@nn1work parcels]# pwd
/opt/cloudera/parcels
[root@nn1work parcels]# ll
total 2995116
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1535130392 Dec 16 09:51 CDH-5.2.1-1.cdh5.2.1.p0.12-el5.parcel
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1531811730 Dec 16 09:53 CDH-5.2.1-1.cdh5.2.1.p0.12-el6.parcel
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 42559 Dec 16 11:12 manifest.json
[root@nn1work parcels]#

Now when I run my cloudera manager and try to build a cluster using parcels it says 

Note: No parcels found from the configured repositories. Try adding a Custom Repository under More Options. Otherwise, you may only proceed with Use Packages.

When I click on more options I can see

So you can see that the directory for parcels is correct. but still it says no parcels can be found. Why??

That method is incorrect. The easiest way to provide a parcel to CM is to:

# mkdir /opt/parcel-downloads
# mv /opt/cloudera/parcels/* /opt/parcel-downloads
# python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080

Then go to CM and add http://localhost:8080 as a parcel repository.
Now you can download, distribute and activate as required. After this,
you can delete the contents of /opt/parcel-downloads
