Impossible to install without internet connection

[vincenthodicq]

Hello,
I have to install ibm_db module from a Linux Red Hat 7 server without any internet connection. This server is configured to use Nexus as npm proxy. I have no problem installing any npm package except ibm_db.
As our server does not have internet connection, I downloaded linuxx64_odbc_cli.tar.gz file, put it in a folder lib.
I created a variable named IBM_DB_INSTALLER_URL, like detailed on ibm_db documentation, that contains the path to lib folder.
Installer successfully retrieves the driver but failed after when trying to connect another server. Please find below the full error.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Vincent

@vincenthodicq Please use below steps:

tar xzf linuxx64_odbc_cli.tar.gz
export IBM_DB_INSTALLER_URL=
export IBM_DB_HOME=<full_path_to_clidriver_folder>
npm install ibm_db

Thanks.

Hi Bimal,

I did all the steps that you detailed but same error:

ibm_db@2.2.1 install /opt/myApp/node_modules/ibm_db
node installer/driverInstall.js

IBM_DB_HOME environment variable have already been set to -> /opt/lib/clidriver/

Downloading of clidriver skipped - build is in progress...

@vincenthodicq Your installation fails due to this error: ETIMEDOUT 104.20.23.46:443. Your system is unable to connect to 104.20.23.46 which is the IP Address for nodejs.org. If you look on error carefully, it is the node-gyp package that fails with error. node-gyp is used by ibm_db to compile node.js add-on code.
I checked node-gyp repository on github and found many issues pointing that node-gyp do not work without internet. Please check this issue.
@bnoordhuis Any thought here?

Thanks @bimalkjha for your answer.

I looked at the issue that you linked and I tried adding nodedir as an argument to npm install. I do not have anymore an issue with a timeout but with a file that is not existing:

npm install --nodedir=/var/lib/node

ibm_db@2.2.1 install /opt/myApp/node_modules/ibm_db
node installer/driverInstall.js

IBM_DB_HOME environment variable have already been set to -> /opt/lib/clidriver/

@vincenthodicq The error says that there is no node.js header files under /var/lib/node directory. Actually, node-gyp requires internet connection to download the v8 header files. We can use --nodedir option if header files are already downloaded previously. Please check this comment that should help you. Thanks.

Closing issue as links with solution already provided. Also, its node-gyp issue not ibm_db. ibm_db is just dependent on node-gyp module. Thanks.

Hi @bimalkjha ,

sorry for the non update from my side. The comment that you provided was useful. Everything works now.
