Can I download an offline installer for PW? I need to install it on lots of computers, and we have an expensive, per-gigabyte Internet connection.

Or can I download and install Calibre, XeLaTeX, etc.? If I install them first, will the bootstrap realise that it doesn’t need to download them again?

Best answer

On the download page it says:

The bootstrap program requires that you have a connection to the Internet for normal operation. If you would like to download the installers once and install them on multiple machines or if you will be installing Pathway in a location where the Internet is unavailable or unreliable, please follow the offline installation instructions.

This is above the actual download links. The “offline installations instructions” link will take you to the page that describes what you need to do.

Sorry, I missed that, too. Still, it would be nice if the link to offline installation instructions was a bold title like all the other download options, and not at the end of small print that those in a hurry, like I was, might think is information they don’t need to read.
