I work in an environment where there servers have no access to the internet. Is there and option to download the RPM files and run them locallly??

I assume you use a RedHat derivate (or RHEL), so this is for rpm. But otherwise you might find the page in installing via tarball.

[https://opendistro.github.io/for-elasticsearch/downloads.html](https://opendistro.github.io/for-elasticsearch/downloads.html)

Then follow instructions:  
[RPM - Open Distro Documentation](https://opendistro.github.io/for-elasticsearch-docs/docs/install/rpm/) and instead of yum from repo, do a localinstall with rpm?

Yes. We are running Centos 7. The directions said the tar install wasn’t for production, but I’ll give that a shot.

With a tar you have way more ways to screw up 😉  
But with centos I’ld prefer the rpm / localinstall way?

you can use the yum install `--downloadonly` on server which has internet. then you have rpms
