Make react-native run-android command to not download files when compile project

Question

I was trying to compile a react-native app for android in Linux platform.

But when I run the command "react-native run-android", I got the following error

Scanning folders for symlinks in /opt/react/App5/node_modules (8ms)
JS server already running.
Building and installing the app on the device (cd android && ./gradlew installDebug)...
Downloading https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.14.1-all.zip

I am behind a proxy server that don't allow me to download the file https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.14.1-all.zip,

I download the file using another computer. Is it possible to setup "react-native run-android" command to not download the file?

I found a way to fix the problem:

I find the file gradle-wrapper.properties inside the folder "gradle/wrapper" and change the content of the distributionUrl to

distributionUrl=file:/tmp/gradle-2.14.1-all.zip

It works now, it is not necessary to download the file anymore.
