offline install info requested

[csakis]

I am trying to get create-elm-app installed offline. It has a problem with the elmi-to-json package, It's trying to get the elmi-to-json-1.3.0-linux.tar.gz from github, but since it's an offline install, it stops right there.
If I download the tar.gz package, where should I put it, so that the installer does not try to go to github?
What else should I do with the package?

You can use nix to use both elmi-to-json as well as elm-create-app in offline. I've packaged both there in this way. If you don't want to use nix you can have a look how this is done. In particular this script which patches binwrap package https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/compilers/elm/packages/lib.nix#L3-L30
