Installing FRC Control System Software Without Internet Connection

Technical Control System
1

Hello all,
Does anyone know which (if any) of the control system software components need an internet connection to install after they’ve been downloaded? I am trying to compile everything software-wise that one would need to run/program a robot into a portable form-factor. I will be using this in an environment that doesn’t have reliable internet (the middle of the woods on a trip), so I would like to try and keep everything “local”. I would install it all on my laptop ahead of time, but it’s in the shop with a broken screen, so I’m planning to make do with the computer I left at the cabin we’re heading to the last time I was there.

(yes I’m taking a whole *** robot to the woods with me, I’m weird I know)

Once it’s downloaded, the Update Suite doesn’t need an internet connection to install. CSAs at most events carry the installer with them on a flash drive and regularly install it on computers without an internet connection.

No, you don’t need internet access to install it. Some features are only available as a 7 day trial.

You might want to look into this tool. It will download everything for you.
