# Install Netdata on Offline Systems
This guide explains how to install Netdata Agent on systems without internet access.
Netdata supports offline installation of the Agent using our `kickstart.sh` script.
This method:
- Downloads all required files in advance.
- Works with static builds only (for now).
- Does *not* support automatic updates on offline systems.
:::note
Local package tools like `apt-offline` may work for DEB/RPM installs — but we dont officially support them.
:::
---
## Step 1: Prepare the Offline Installation Package
On your internet-connected machine, you'll need::
| Requirement | Purpose |
|-------------------------|----------------------------|
| `curl` or `wget` | Download the script |
| `sha256sum` or `shasum` | Verify script downloads |
| POSIX-compliant shell | Required to run the script |
Run the following command:
- using `wget`
```bash
wget -O /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh https://get.netdata.cloud/kickstart.sh
sh /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh --release-channel stable --prepare-offline-install-source ./netdata-offline
```
- or using `curl`
```bash
curl https://get.netdata.cloud/kickstart.sh > /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh
sh /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh --release-channel stable --prepare-offline-install-source ./netdata-offline
```
:::note
The folder name `netdata-offline` is just an example — use any name you want.
To use the nightly channel instead, replace `stable` with `nightly`.
:::
**What's Included**:
The script creates a directory with all necessary files:
```
── netdata-offline
├── channel # Release channel info
├── install.sh # Installation script
├── kickstart.sh # Original kickstart script
├── netdata-*.gz.run # Netdata static packages for different architectures
└── sha256sums.txt # Verification hashes
```
---
## Step 2: Transfer to Offline System
Copy the entire `netdata-offline` directory to your offline system using your preferred method (USB drive, secure copy, etc.).
:::warning
Do not rename or modify any files in the package.
The installation script expects the exact directory structure and filenames.
:::
:::tip
The folder name `netdata-offline` is just an example — use any name you want.
:::
---
### Output
This will create a directory like:
```
./netdata-offline/
```
It will contain everything required to install Netdata offline.
---
## Choose Release Channel (Optional)
To prepare for a specific channel (`nightly` or `stable`), add:
```bash
--release-channel nightly
```
or
```bash
--release-channel stable
```
Example:
```bash
sh /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh --release-channel stable --prepare-offline-install-source ./netdata-offline
```
---
## Install Netdata on the Target (Offline) System
1. Copy the entire `netdata-offline` directory to your offline system.
:::warning
Don't rename or modify the files.
:::
---
2. On the offline system, run:
```bash
cd netdata-offline
sudo ./install.sh
```
The `install.sh` script accepts the [same parameters](/packaging/installer/methods/kickstart.md#optional-parameters-for-kickstartsh) as `kickstart.sh`, allowing you to customize your installation.
## Automatic Updates
:::note
Automatic updates are *disabled* by default for offline installations — since theres no network connection.
