npmbox offline install

[TheoTsatsos]

Hi @arei,

I am quite new to npm and I would really aprreciate your #help. I want to install npmbox on an offline 2008 windows server. I followed the instructions until: npm install --global --cache ..npmbox.cache --optional --cache-min 99999 --shrinkwrap false npmbox

but I get: npm ERR! network connect ETIMEDOUT npm ERR! network This is most likely not a problem with npm itself npm ERR! network and is related to network connectivity. npm ERR! network In most cases you are behind a proxy or have bad network settin gs. npm ERR! network npm ERR! network If you are behind a proxy, please make sure that the npm ERR! network 'proxy' config is set properly. See: 'npm help config'

I read that the --shrinkwrap false flag should fix the issue but it didn't.

Any suggestions?

PS: I did the first steps on my local online machine as suggested in the instructions, and then I ciopied over the npmbox.npmbox file. Thank you in advance

1). Make sure your read this section of the readme: https://github.com/arei/npmbox#common-problems

2). Looks,like you are running a really old version of npm (and node). Try upgrading? If you cannot upgrade, try this version of the command from a few years ago: npm install --global --cache ./.npmbox-cache --optional --no-registry --fetch-retries 0 --fetch-retry-factor 0 --fetch-retry-mintimeout 1 --fetch-retry-maxtimeout 2 npmbox

3). Copy the npm-debug.log file and paste it here if you can.

I tried this command and still nothing..

That npm-debug.log is for a different command. Can you post the one from the execution of recommended command?

[TheoTsatsos]

Hi @arei ,

sorry about that

I just updated node to version 6.5.0 and npm to 3.10.3

I run the "new command": npm install --global --cache ..npmbox.cache --optional --cache-min 99999 --shrinkwrap false npmbox

and my error message is: npm ERR! node v6.5.0 npm ERR! npm v3.10.3 npm ERR! code ETIMEDOUT npm ERR! errno ETIMEDOUT npm ERR! syscall connect

PS: According to the instructions, I need to remove the "npmbox" file without extension and I did

[arei]

For whatever reason, npm is not seeing the .npmbox-cache folder. Perhaps it's a permissions problem, perhaps something else?

Is your G drive a network map?

Are there any other folders or files in the directory with .npmbox-cache in it?

Did you untar npm box.npmbox correctly? If so there should be a .npmbox-cache folder and a handful of single package names like "npmbox" with no extension. (Just covering the bases here.)

If there is a npmbox file with no extension, delete it and try again.

[TheoTsatsos]

I managed to install it (I think) - or maybe it is installed partially

By default all the folders I create have read-only permissions, due to GP

This is the output: c:\Users\s-dv-dhb-app\Desktop>npm install --global --cache .npmbox.cache --optio nal --cache-min 99999 --shrinkwrap false npmbox npm WARN deprecated jade@0.26.3: Jade has been renamed to pug, please install th e latest version of pug instead of jade npm WARN deprecated to-iso-string@0.0.2: to-iso-string has been deprecated, use @segment/to-iso-string instead. npm WARN deprecated minimatch@0.3.0: Please update to minimatch 3.0.2 or higher to avoid a RegExp DoS issue C:\Users\s-dv-dhb-app\AppData\Roaming\npm\npmunbox -> C:\Users\s-dv-dhb-app\AppD ata\Roaming\npm\node_modules\npmbox\bin\npmunbox C:\Users\s-dv-dhb-app\AppData\Roaming\npm\npmbox -> C:\Users\s-dv-dhb-app\AppDat a\Roaming\npm\node_modules\npmbox\bin\npmbox C:\Users\s-dv-dhb-app\AppData\Roaming\npm `-- npmbox@4.0.1

Now that means that I can run the npmbox commands?

i.e npmunbox grunt.npmbox

Or there is some other procedure I have to follow? ~Because I try to run "npmunbox npmbox.npmbox" and I get:

[arei]

What did you do that got it installed? How did you fix it?

Yes, you should be able to use npmbox and npmunbox from the command line now, although I would not try running npmunbox on npmbox again as it's already installed.

[TheoTsatsos]

under C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming I only have the npm folder and I am missing the npm-cache one. (I compared it to the installation in my local pc)

I did not use the npmbox.npmbox file given by the developer, I produced mine using the: npm install -g npmbox

Although it seems to be ok-ish. When I run npmunbox grunt.npmbox it tries to connect to the internet and because the box is offline it finally fails.

[TheoTsatsos]

Hi @arei,

this is still not working...

Could you advise please?
