Can I use xpm install offline？

[andy27182]

Q:

When I use xpm install, the download fails due to network reasons, but the zip archive can be downloaded normally through the browser, so I consider decompressing the corresponding package file in the central repository, and then use xpm install to create a link in the project . Still unsuccessful, I'm not sure if there is something wrong with my unzip path.

When xpm installs a binary package, it first downloads the npm package, then from the package.json file it gets the URL for the archive, and downloads it in a .content folder.

You can manually download the package.json file, manually create the .content folder, and move the content there.

But I recommend you try to fix your network configuration to allow npm to do this automatically. Do you use a proxy?

R1:

Thanks for your reply. I use clash for windows as the network proxy, and set up http_proxy and https_proxy, there is no problem with curl www.google.com, but there is still an error when executing xpm install, and the cause of the error becomes HttpsProxyAgent is not a constructor in fetch ....

R2::

So I'm still trying the offline installation method, I checked the AppData\Roaming\xpacks\@xpack-dev-tools\qemu-arm\ directory (as an example) , There is a package.json file in the \AppData\Roaming\xpacks\@xpack-dev-tools\qemu-arm\7.0.0-1.1.tmp directory, and my node environment has always worked well, indicating that npm can be used normally. Could you please explain which level of directory the .content folder should be placed in. Or it is best to give an example of the location of the binary package installed under Windows OS.

[ilg-ul]

there is no problem with curl www.google.com ...

Things are a bit more complex. Please see: #80

Is curl able to download from a https url?

the offline installation method
There is a package.json file in the \AppData\Roaming\xpacks@xpack-dev-tools\qemu-arm\7.0.0-1.1.tmp directory,

If the 7.0.0-1.1.tmp folder looks like a npm package, and you manually downloaded the archive in the 7.0.0-1.1 folder, rename this second as .content, move it inside 7.0.0-1.1.tmp, and rename it to 7.0.0-1.1.

In the end it should look like this:

ilg@wksi qemu-riscv % tree -a -L 2 7.0.0-1.1
7.0.0-1.1
├── .content
│   ├── README.md

If the 7.0.0-1.1.tmp folder looks like a npm package, and you manually downloaded the archive in the 7.0.0-1.1 folder, rename this second as .content, move it inside 7.0.0-1.1.tmp, and rename it to 7.0.0-1.1.

Thanks, now xpm install can work.

My problem is not exactly the same as others, I checked the configuration of npm, my npm uses a mirror, no proxy is configured. therefore before using xpm, the environment variables http_proxy and https_proxy were configured in the terminal, but according to my proxy log, it seems that there is no new connection in the process of xpm. I still have to try this problem.

[ilg-ul]

now xpm install can work

I doubt that without a proper proxy configuration you'll get very far.

[andy27182]

Yes, I will continue to work on this problem.
