+

+By default it's downloading the binaries from the github tagged releases but the following variables can be overridden by setting an environment variable or including an .npmrc file:

+in the `./src/shell/js/composeui-node-launcher/` folder.
+
+#### Developing the install.js script
+
+If you're developing the install.js script and would like to test if the binaries downloading and extracting as expected you can serve a folder with a name of the version containing a zip with the binaries locally (e.g with http-server), and set that link for the `COMPOSEUI_CDN_URL` environment variable.
+
+For example:
+
+```
+COMPOSEUI_CDN_URL='http://127.0.0.1:8080'
+```
+
+#### Working with the locally compiled shell binary:
+
+To achieve this you can set the `COMPOSEUI_BINARY_FILE_PATH` variable to point to the exe compiled by Visual Studio:
+
+```
+COMPOSEUI_BINARY_FILE_PATH='path\to\your\project\folder\ComposeUI\src\shell\dotnet\Shell\bin\Debug\net6.0-windows\ComposeUI-Shell.exe'
