You don't sorry.

Your iPhone MUST be connected to reliable and fast wifi network with Internet access. That condition is mandatory to update an iPhone (no cellular data, no personal hotspot, no VPN connections are allowed). And your iPhone's battery should be over 50% level (better if plugged into power).

That said, if you don't have a wifi network, "borrow" one from your friends/neighbors, or ask for help at an Apple Store or Authorized Service provider.
