Do you know you can use the ISO files as repositories? Easier in some situations.

1. Create the folders (mountpoint) to mount the ISO files

<span style="color:#323232;">sudo mkdir -p /media/repo_1
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sudo mkdir -p /media/repo_2
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sudo mkdir -p /media/repo_3
</span>

2. Mount the ISO files

<span style="color:#323232;">	sudo mount -o loop ~/Downloads/debian-8.0.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso /media/repo_1/
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	sudo mount -o loop ~/Downloads/debian-8.0.0-amd64-DVD-2.iso /media/repo_2/
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	sudo mount -o loop ~/Downloads/debian-8.0.0-amd64-DVD-3.iso /media/repo_3/
</span>

3. Edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file to add the repository

<span style="color:#323232;">vim /etc/apt/sources.list
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	deb file:///media/repo_1/  jessie main contrib
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	deb file:///media/repo_2/  jessie main contrib
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	deb file:///media/repo_3/  jessie main contrib
</span>

4. Run sudo apt-get update
