Corporate / Air-Gapped Environments

If your environment requires a proxy or custom npm registry, configure them in prism_config inside your prism’s package.yaml:

prism_config:
  proxies:
    http: "http://proxy.mycompany.com:8080"
    https: "http://proxy.mycompany.com:8080"
    no_proxy: "localhost,.mycompany.com"

  npm_registry: "https://npm.mycompany.com"

Or pass via environment variable / CLI flag:

export PRISM_NPM_REGISTRY=https://npm.mycompany.com
prism install --prism my-company

# Or inline
prism install --prism my-company --npm-registry https://npm.mycompany.com
