Is there anyway we can setup SharePoint framework development environment offline without internet connection?
Following this instruction,
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/set-up-your-development-environment
It failed on the second step,
npm install -g yo gulp
If your node modules were already installed, then yes, you can develop offline. But the npm install command very specifically downloads and installs the package you specify.
If you can find a colleague who already has those modules installed and you can copy from their machine to yours, you could potentially get it setup without an internet connection, but you are going to have to get those SPFx packages (Yeoman Gulp and Microsoft Generator) from somewhere.

Hey Im looking for a good and solid solution for how to install node + vuejs full stack web program in offline. Our customer can not have any internet access so we have to install it in offline but cant imagine how to do. First idea was copy all the code including node modules and just paste it to the customer’s computer and run it. However I do bot believe this is gonna work.
Customer uses Centos as fas as I know.
Thanks in advance.
Anyone who's looking for a 'how to' steps for offline centOS install.
Preparation
a laptop or Computer can access to the internet.
Install VM or whatever you want to use to set the whole project in CentOS
Install CentOS7 in your VM and connect to the internet.
!! Important!!
You MUST Follow your customer's centOS install options. There are many options you can select when you install your centOS. When you install your project in offline, you have to have all the packages(or dependencies) depends on OS installed options. If your customer installed CentOS as full development package, then you don't have to have additional dependencies. if not, you need a lot.
download all the packages you need as CentOS version. In my case, my web is based on 'Nodejs + Express', 'Vuejs + AntDesign', pm2, nginx so I have donwnloaded nodejs, nginx, and pm2. Others are gonna work without any problems once you've installed Nodejs. If you need some additional packages or dependencies(it will be written in the terminal message during installation process of node or others) then write down all the packages and install them.
Set your project in CentOS and test if it works(build the project if it's needed). If it does not work, check the path, dependencies, or anything else might be related(DO NOT FORGET LINUX AUTHORITY!!).
If everything works, then get all the installation file(.rpm) you've installed.
install another CentOS in VM as OFFLINE
install in offline CentOS .rpm installation files you get from online CentOS above.(no. 6) (DO Exactly same installation but this time, with only the files. not from the online repositories)
Test
If it's not working, check the path, root or user's authority in CentOS.
About PM2.
As PM2 is for the process management, you have to install it globally. However, sometimes(I tested 2 times in exactly same set environments. First try did work but second try didn't work. Couldn't find why. I've tested 4.3 and it works every time so I suggest you to get the pm2 version under 4.5) pm2 v.4.5 or up does not support offline installation with npm so All you have to do in online centos:
npm pack pm2(whatever you've set the name when you installed pm2 in online centos, if you didn't change the package name then npm pack pm2 will work, command path doesn't matter. pm2 is installed globally so when you run npm pack pm2 anywhere it will take global installed pm2 whatsoever) This will pack all the dependencies to install pm2 in offline. Take this packed file(.tgz) and install this in offline.
Test
If it's not working and you couldn't find the reason why, leave a comment or answers down below. I will try to help as much as I can.(I'm Korean and live in Korea. Please be aware of time difference)
There is a way to install npm package to a machine which doesn't have internet acccess is, using npm pack in machine with internet acces, copying it to machine without internet and running npm install <tar> in it. But npm pack, packs whole project.
But I want to manage and install the modules myself, without the opportunity for the developers to add/remove any modules. So I just want node_modules to be packaged. And then want to install it to machine without internet.
For example when developer push his/her commits to origin, I want to get node_modules from ftp etc. and codes from GitLab then go on continuous integration with this static node_modules.
How can I do that?
There is a solution to manage the modules yourself: you can store your node_modules in its own repo in which your developers will only be able to clone/get the repo and not contribute/modify it.
Hope this helped you
This can be done, please look at Installing a local module using npm? . You can FTP or whatever to get the packages and install them using npm.
I want to install tfx-cli on a machine which does not have access to Internet.
I have installed nodejs with node-v6.4.0-x64.msi.
Per msdn guide after installing node.js install tfx-cli with below command
npm install -g tfx-cli
But the above requires internet connection.
How to install tfx-cli in a machine which has no internet access.
Since you are using nodejs-v6.4.0. Afraid there is no way to install without internet access.
Certainly, there are some ways to use npm for offline pack installation. Such as offline-npm However it's not suitable for your case:
npm >= v3.x bundled with node >= v5 has broken this project.
preinstall script is since then called after requests to npm registry
are made. This makes it impossible for offline-npm to start as a
registry server.
And Use local-npm for offline NPM package installation, however you still should install many other things from internet. It doesn't make sense. If you have internet, you could directly install it.
In the government organisation I work for we have many workstations on a closed intranet network. There's a way to get internet but that doesn't work for every application.
I'm doing a bit of research to Cordova and Phonegap, and I'd like to know if it's possible install Cordova and compile projects with it, all while fully offline.
I can install Node.js, the JDK, the Android SDK and ANT fully offline. However, the installation command for Cordova is 'npm install -g cordova'.
Is there a workaround for this? I know there's a source zip file download but I simply don't know where to put all those files.
Also, upon building a project with Cordova I can see it checking for latest versions of plugins on github. I think it's possible to download the plugins offline. But would the build process succeed if the plugins version checks fail?
try npmbox, it is the new name of npmzip which will allow you to install offline npm packages by one file
I am trying to install socket.io on windows with npm for use on a nodeJS server.
First, when I typed "npm install socket.IO" i had an error in the log saying something about python and node-gyp. I installed python 2.7.3 and set the environment variables.
Now I got a new error, which has something to do with visual studio (what the hell does VS have to do with npm ? Is it about the compiler? ).
The error is the same as here npm install for some packages (sqlite3, socket.io) fail with error MSB8020 on Windows 7
But when I use the option in the answer instead of the error it tells me something about a possible data loss (c4267) but doesn't log any error.
Then when I start my app, it tells me cannot find module socket.io still
What could this come from ?
Oh and also when i do npm config get root it tells me "undefined" could it have anything to do with it ?
Should I install the modules globally or locally ?
At least one of the packages in Socket.IO's dependency tree is a C/C++ addons which needs to be compiled on your system as it's installed. And, since it's a dependency, if it doesn't succeed in installing, neither will Socket.IO.
To enable cross-system compilation, Node.js uses node-gyp as its build system. You'll need to have it installed as a global package:
npm install -g node-gyp
As well as have its dependencies installed. Abridged version:
Python 2
C/C++ Compiler / Build Tools
For Windows, Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 (C++ or Windows Desktop) (Express edition)
For 64-bit, may need Windows 7 64-bit SDK
Then, you should be able to install Socket.IO as a local package so you can require it:
npm install socket.io
I had a similar problem on Mac.
What resolved my problem is installing a slightly older version of Socket.io.
I did:
npm install socket.io#"~0.8.1"
which would install the latest version between 0.8.0 to 0.8.9, but not 0.9.0 or above.
Socket.io then installed perfectly.
Make sure you have all the required software to run node-gyp:
https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp
You can configure version of Visual Studio used by gyp via an environment variable so you can avoid having to set the --msvs_version=2012 property.
Examples:
set GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2012 for Visual Studio 2012
set GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2013e (the 'e' stands for 'express edition')
For the full list see
- https://github.com/joyent/node/blob/v0.10.29/tools/gyp/pylib/gyp/MSVSVersion.py#L209-294
This is still painful for Windows users of NodeJS as it assumes you have a copy of Visual Studio installed and many end users will never have this. So I'm lobbying Joyent to the encourage them to include web sockets as part of CORE node and also to possible ship a GNU gcc compiler as part of NodeJS install so we can permanently fix this problem.
Feel free to add your vote at:
https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/8005#issuecomment-50545326
The problem causing the compile failure is that the ws module installed by the engine.io module required by socket.io pulls in a backlevel version of nan. See https://github.com/BrowserSync/grunt-browser-sync/issues/95 for details. To work around the problem after the build failure:
cd to node_modules/socket.io/node_modules/engine.io/node_modules/ws
edit package.json to change the release of nan from 1.4.x to 1.6.0
issue command node-gyp rebuild
You should now be able to use socket.io
Another approach is to use Docker for Windows and spin up a NodeJS environment. While developing you can mount your Node code as a Docker volume and so continue to update your code from Windows but execute it and install it's dependencies inside a Linux VM. When you deploy you might prefer to use a Dockerfile that COPY's your Node code into your Docker image and so bakes it into the release image you deploy.
This approach might be required if you don't want to risk changing the socket.io version of your code or its dependencies.
It also may be a valuable solution if you planned to deploy to a corporate Intranet or public/private Cloud.
Docker can also be very handy for testing deployment under different versions of Node without disturbing the development environment of your Windows computer (e.g. for testing a NodeJS lib).
Official NodeJS Docker images
An explanation of how to use these images
this problem makes me very troubled..
I tried many solutions.
I installed .NET Framework 2.0 SDK.
I installed Python 2.7.x
I installed VS 2012 Express
I set some paths
I executed npm install xxx with the argument --msvs_version=2010(or 2012/2013..)...
But all failed.
finally, I uninstalled Python & .NET Framework 2.0 SDK & VS 2012, clear those paths,enable Windows Update, install all essential updates, restart my computer
then execute commands below:
npm install node-gyp -g
npm install socket.io -g
npm install browser-sync -g
there is no errors in installation logs.
Note : this solution may not work for you, but for me
