Introduction: Offline Installation

If you are behind a corporate proxy, and configuring your editor with the proxy settings doesn’t help, or you want to install wallaby.js to function in offline mode, you may follow the instructions below.

(~ in the paths below is your OS user home folder)

Please Note: Our recommendation is to only install in offline mode if you have no other option. Offline mode does not receive automated updates and bug fixes.

VS Code
