You need to edit your code to invoke the agents, they aren't separate packages like the server. See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/index.html) for whatever language you want. ---

You download it from the npm server, I don't know if there is a way to do an offline install sorry. ---

You need to have npm installed (which comes automatically with Node.js) on the machine where you run the `npm install elastic-apm-js-base --save` command (which you run inside the base directory of your website source code). This will add the `elastic-apm-js-base` module as a dependency to your website in its `package.json` file. But it sounds to me like you don't have a `package.json` file already? ---

Hi, Thanks for reaching out. We recommend to use npm to install our JavaScript agent. However, you can also download the agent from [unpkg.com](https://unpkg.com/elastic-apm-js-base/dist/bundles/elastic-apm-js-base.umd.min.js). Please note that [unpkg.com](http://unpkg.com) is an unofficial service providing a way to download npm packages. Furthermore, we're currently working to provide the final JavaScript bundle through our [GitHub releases](https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-js-base/releases) which will be the official way to download the bundles going forward. Cheers, Hamid ---
