# Using Snap! Without an Internet Connection
|
||||
|
||||
Snap! is a web application hosted at
|
||||
[https://snap.berkeley.edu/run](https://snap.berkeley.edu/run "Snap! online").
|
||||
|
||||
If you would like to use Snap! without being connected to the internet, e.g. in a remote area
|
||||
or in a school with limited or unreliable online service you can easily set up Snap! locally on
|
||||
your computer, by following these
|
||||
|
||||
## Simple Steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Download the latest Snap! Release from
|
||||
[https://github.com/jmoenig/Snap--Build-Your-Own-Blocks/releases/latest](https://github.com/jmoenig/Snap--Build-Your-Own-Blocks/releases/latest)
|
||||
"Snap! Source Code"), and unpack the contents of the archive to your local disk.
|
||||
2. Open the file `snap.html` in your browser.
|
||||
3. There is no step 3.
|
||||
|
||||
Snap! is just a web page, you can open it locally in your browser, no need to install anything
|
||||
on your computer. You can use whichever operating system you like, you don't even need
|
||||
admin rights. You can also use a memory stick to distribute the directory with source files
|
||||
among the participants of a workshop or the students of your class, even if some of them
|
||||
are using MacOS and others run MS Windows or Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
## Which Web Browser?
|
||||
|
||||
It's best to open Snap! in Chrome or Firefox.
|
||||
|
||||
Snap! is using web standards and runs in any modern web browser. Some browsers are faster
|
||||
than others, which makes using Snap! more fun. For the best user experience we recommend
|
||||
Chrome or Firefox. IE does not comply with modern web standards and will not work. Edge
|
||||
will work, but some operations will be so slow it takes the fun out of programming and playing.
|
||||
|
||||
## What about Tablets?
|
||||
|
||||
We don't recommend it.
|
||||
|
||||
Snap! sorta runs on tablets, but the UI isn't optimized for mobile use. Also, many mobile
|
||||
web browsers enforce some restrictions that are not web-standards compliant, e.g. they
|
||||
will not support the soft keyboard or intentionally slow down certain operations to discourage
|
||||
using web apps in favor of proprietary "native" apps.
|
||||
|
||||
## Saving and Loading
|
||||
|
||||
When you use Snap! locally you will not be able to save projects to the cloud, nor can you
|
||||
access projects saved in the cloud. Instead projects will be exported as xml-files to your
|
||||
computer, from where they can also be opened again.
|
||||
|
||||
There are two ways to load projects and assets from your computer when you use Snap!
|
||||
without an internet connection:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Using the options in Snap's file menu opens an OS-native file dialog that lets you select
|
||||
which file to import or load.
|
||||
2. Alternatively you can drag projects and assets (extension libraries, pictures, sounds etc.)
|
||||
from your computer directly into Snap! and drop it. If you import sounds or images you can
|
||||
also drag and drop several files all at once.
|
||||
|
||||
Easy, isn't it?
|
||||
|
||||
## Keeping Snap! up-to-date
|
||||
|
||||
From time to time it's wise to check whether a new version of Snap! is available. You can
|
||||
find out the lastest release using the link above, and compare that to the offline sources on
|
||||
your computer. If there is a newer version, simply replace the source files with the newer ones.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Enjoy!
