I work in a client office where they are not allowing a connection to [DynamoBim.com](http://DynamoBim.com).

Will I be able to use Dynamo in this environment? I think I can download and get Dynamo installed, but, the package manager doesn’t work out of the box since it can’t get to [DynamoBim.com](http://DynamoBim.com). Is there some way to download packages and put them on our LAN that would make them available to our users?

Thanks in advance,

Mike Weaver

Hi,

If you use a computer that does not have these limitations and install dynamo there, download all packages you need and install those. Then go to “C:\Users…\AppData\Roaming\Dynamo\packages”, copy this directory to a memorystick. Go to your workplace and set up a central location for the packages. Copy all the files from the memorystick to this location. Start Dynamo and go to settings, you’ll see an option to add a location for your packages. Stop Dynamo and restart it. That should do it i guess. There might be a culprit, but i leave that to the founders. 🙂

you can also add a network share as the location for packages

Marcel,  
I think that is what I needed. I’ll have to play around with it when I get back to work.

Thanks,  
Mike
