Is there any way of installing FTB on an offline computer?

[Xeno]

Hiya I have the FTB launcher downloaded, but I have to install the modpack on an offline computer and I'm not allowed to run the launcher on this computer. Is there any way of downloading the files required to run the modpacks without using the launcher?

short answer: no

can't you install on an online computer and then copy the folder over? (you would have to run the game at least once on the online computer)

Have you tried downloading the pack(s) you want on the launcher, then importing to Multimc, and then copying the multimc instance across to the other machine?

You've got two options.

1. Use MultiMC. MultiMC is a launcher program somewhat like the FTB launcher, but more customizable. I've written a guide on how to run it here: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/thr...via-multimc-while-launcher-isnt-working.1309/

2. Use the mods with plain old minecraft. Open up the MC Forge zip file from inst mods, drop that into your minecraft.jar, run it, close it, move the mods into the newly created mods folder in appdata/roaming/.minecraft, move the configs in, and the core mods, and boom, you're done.

MC requires an online connection to loggin as do ftb launcher & multimc, to do any thing that stops the sending of the loggin request would be contravening the MC tos. as far as I remember even the off line demo needed a online connection, but its been years since I even looked at thats, so it may have changed.

The official launcher allows you to run Minecraft offline as long as Minecraft has been installed already (logged in once), and the Minecraft TOS doesn't state anything about blocking login requests. More info about sessions here. (Strange that you don't need authentication to download minecraft.jar)
