Cannot install offline atom package

Question

I have a work development machine that is not connected to the internet. I'm using atom as my editor and cannot install packages as one normally would. I downloaded the package on another machine and extracted the package to ~/.atom/packages. The package, atom-beautify, shows up under the packages tab but I receive this error message when attempting to use it:

The error was thrown from the atom-beautify package.

I have tried running apm install but I have had no luck there. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

apm -v
apm 1.9.2
npm 2.13.3
node 0.10.40
python 3.5.1
git 1.9.4.mysgit.2
visual studio

Yeah, I should have included the error message in the original post. The error message is this: gyp info it worked if it ends with ok gyp info using [email protected] gyp info using [email protected] | win32 | ia32 gyp http GET gttps://atom.io/download/atom-shell/v0.36.8/node-v0.36.8.tar.gz gyp WARN install got an error, rolling back install gyp — qgoehrig

The procedure should be as follows（take atom-beautify for example）:

Download the package atom-beautify zip file on GitHub;
Extract the package and put the folder into the folder ~/.atom/packages;
Come to the direction ~/.atom/packages/atom-beautify;
use the command:npm install.

Or you can install the package from the very beginning directly by using the command:

apm install atom-beautify

apm do the job from downloading to installing.
