Issue/Introduction
Due to firewall restrictions we need to install the Node JS agnet in an offline environment. The documentation (https://docops.ca.com/ca-apm/10-7/en/implementing-agents/node-js-agent/install-the-node-js-agent/install-and-run-the-node-js-probe-agent#InstallandRuntheNode.jsProbeAgent-offline_installInstalltheNode.jsProbeAgenttoanOfflineProductionSystem(NoCodeChange)) describes the process using npmbox but there is limitation with npmbox that the npm version should be lower than v5 (see https://github.com/arei/npmbox -> in the npmbox news section) in our environment, the npm version is 5.6 is there any other way?
