How to Run NextCLI Without Internet

Learn how to set up NextCLI for air-gapped or offline environments using local models, including steps to disable telemetry and configure local model providers

  1. Download the latest .vsix file from the GitHub Releases page and install it to VS Code.
  2. Turn off "Allow Anonymous Telemetry" in the user settings. This will stop NextCLI from attempting requests to PostHog for anonymous telemetry.
  3. In your config.yaml file (or through the NextCLI UI), set the default model to a local model. You can find available local model options here.
  4. Restart VS Code to ensure that the changes to config.yaml take effect.
