'poetry install' command fails; *.whl files are not found

I am managing dependencies in my Python project via Poetry.

Now I want to run this project in a machine which is different from my dev machine. To install dependecies, I simply run this command from the root directory:

$ poetry install

but then it raises the following errors:

It would be good to know what these *.whl are and how they are used by Poetry.
