"Judo - Teach Yourself" by Sid Hoare has some advise for people who don't have any dojo around:

It contains a few inaccuracies (the description of seoi otoshi for example), but that aside it's a quite solid book. Used editions come dirt cheap.
Other than that buying or constructing mats would be a start, so you could at least practice breakfalls, which belong to the essential basics of judo. Fortunately nowadays you can buy mats of all sorts online. The thickness/softness depend on the floor you plan to put them on. Sprung wooden floors are the best. A concrete floor would be the worst (use thicker, softer mats). The mats may not be too soft though. If sink in and can't slide around on your feet freely, they are too soft.
Something more difficult might be finding training partners. If you are lucky you find someone who already has judo experience.
