After running run\_local.bat, it prompts that node cannot be found. (My computer has already installed node js), so I manually downloaded node js and put it in the SignallingWebServer\platform\_scripts\cmd , but it still gets stuck in the next step npm install: idealTree:SignallingWebServer: sill idealTree buildDeps , which can be solved by connecting to Internet . But what if I dont have Internet? How to go over the “npm install” without internet? ![35e7e696-1a65-4d5a-a3c7-340ff66c7e00](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/4/2/9/42989a773df98fd9fadffc2c5241c12f1d3f99cd.png) ---

NPM = node package manager. Like most package managers it by default grabs packages off the internet and not local drives. Haven’t seen any archives that allow offline install, but I’m not a heavy nodejs user This blog mentions offline npm install variant but I see it’s on a mac so not sure if it will work on windows > **[Offline installation of npm packages](https://addyosmani.com/blog/using-npm-offline/)** > > Occasionally, you may need to install npm packages while offline.

sill idealTree buildDeps is most likely responsible for building dependencies for the project. So gathering all libraries / modules needed to compile the main project. Unless you find a specific build that is a 100% modified for offline use, it’s probably a very uphill battle that may not be worth wasting your time on I would suggest reading > **[Getting Started with Pixel Streaming in Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.4...](https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/getting-started-with-pixel-streaming-in-unreal-engine)** > > Get up and running streaming an Unreal Engine application from one computer to other computers and mobile devices on the same network. segment ## 2 - Get the Pixel Streaming Servers Perhaps the github version of the streaming infrastructure is an alternative. ---

Thank you for your answer . But it comes really easy to skip the “npm install” step , as the package needed has already included in streaming infrastructure , or , “get\_ps\_servers.bat”. The only thing i should do is to skip “up to data” , so I open “run\_local.bat” as .txt , delete “Call setup.bat” , and it is done , no more internet up data… ---

To bypass `npm install` without internet: - Pre-download packages on a machine with internet, then copy the `node_modules` folder to your offline machine. - Use `npm install --offline` if you’ve previously installed the packages.
