Impossible to install without internet connection

Hello, I have to install ibm_db module from a Linux Red Hat 7 server without any internet connection. This server is configured to use Nexus as npm proxy. I have no problem installing any npm package except ibm_db. As our server does not have internet connection, I downloaded linuxx64_odbc_cli.tar.gz file, put it in a folder lib. I created a variable named IBM_DB_INSTALLER_URL, like detailed on ibm_db documentation, that contains the path to lib folder. Installer successfully retrieves the driver but failed after when trying to connect another server. Please find below the full error.

Thanks in advance for your help.

@vincenthodicq The error says that there is no node.js header files under /var/lib/node directory. Actually, node-gyp requires internet connection to download the v8 header files. We can use --nodedir option if header files are already downloaded previously. Please check this comment that should help you. Thanks.
