If your computer is not connected to the internet npm will not work.

If you have another computer connected to the internet, you can run the npm commands there and afterwards copy the contents to the other computer. (e.g. via USB stick)

In most cases you should have no problems, even on different operating systems.

Note on global modules: For global modules (e.g. gulp, bower, forever) you will not be able to install into node_modules using this technique. However, you can install them locally by saving them to your package json and running them from their local path.

e.g.

npm install --save forever
./node_modules/forever/bin/forever

Check the files system for the exact path.
