Innacurate installation instructions on docs/installation.md

Hi there.

I'm trying to follow the offline installation instructions as laid out on docs/installation.md and have found a few problems:

Offline installation
If your Cassandra servers do not have internet access:

on a machine with the same target os and python version, clone the cassandra-medusa repo and cd into the root directory
run mkdir pip_dependencies && pip download -r requirements.txt -d medusa_dependencies to download the dependencies into a sub directory

REMARK: why do you need a directory named "pip_dependencies" if the following steps will use "medusa_dependencies"?

(...)
Upload the archive to all Cassandra nodes and decompress it
run pip install -r medusa_dependencies/requirements.txt --no-index --find-links to install the dependencies on the nodes

REMARK: the above command is either incomplete or wrong, cause the "--find-links" option can't be called with no arguments. What's the url that should go with the command?

(...)
create your python env in the directory previously created cd cassandra-medusa-0.7.1 && pipenv --python 3

REMARK: when you clone the project, the root folder is called "cassandra_medusa" not "cassandra-medusa-0.7.1"

Thanks in advance and regards

Fabio

Hi @ftarrega. I've recently picked up #555, where I also touched the offline instalation docs. I'll have a closer look to see how this relatest to it.
