How to add a Meteor package manually

I have created a Meteor (version 0.8.3 for Windows) hello world app:

meteor create helloworld
cd helloworld

My proxy does not allow me to use meteor add, so I'm trying manually installation. Then, I created a packages folder inside the helloworld folder:

md packages

I downloaded master from boostrap package Github into a zip from the Github website, and unziped inside packages. Modified the name of the zipepr folder from bootstrap-master to bootstrap.

Then tried:

meteor add boostrap

And this is the output:

Unable to update package catalog (are you offline?)

 => Errors while parsing arguments:

While adding package bootstrap:
error: no such package

Your package catalog may be out of date.
Please connect to the internet and try again.

Any idea?

meteor packages should have a package.js file.And you can find package name in Package.describe. Then use meteor add package-name to add package locally

Try to do a git clone of github package instead of a zip file ...
