Installing Modules Offline

In addition to updating the IDE online, you can also update modules in the IDE without having to connect to an Update Center server. You can download the module's .nbm file from the Update Center and manually install it on other machines.

To download a module's .nbm file:

  1. Choose Tools and choose Update Center from the main window to open the Update Center wizard.
  2. Select the desired Update Center and click Next.
  3. Select the module you want to download and click Next.
  4. Outside of the IDE, go to your userdir/update/download directory and copy the module's .nbm file to another directory. Leave a copy of the file in the download directory.
  5. Return to the Update Center wizard. If you want to install the module in your IDE, click Finish. If you do not want to install the module, click Cancel.

To install a module offline:

  1. Manually download the .nbm file of the module you want to update.
  2. Choose Tools and choose Update Center from the main window.
  3. In the first page of the wizard, select the Install Manually Downloaded Modules button.
  4. Proceed according to the instructions in the rest of the wizard.
