Description

Is there an existing issue?
Use case

I'm trying to build an app using object box on an air gapped Linux machine.

Proposed solution

Add configuration/documentation on how to manually download the required native libraries so the build process doesn't fail on unreachable network.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Vendoring the entire plugin and modifying the flutter_libs/linux/CMakeLists.txt to find required deps locally.
