Once you download the parts of the stack you plan to use (Elasticsearch and Kibana, perhaps others), you don't need Internet access to use them. Simply start them up.

- [Elasticsearch Install docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/running-elasticsearch.html)
- [Kibana Install docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/install.html)

Both will bind to your local network interface, Elasticsearch on port 9200 and Kibana on port 5601.

Looks like a network problem, `getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND registry.npmjs.org registry.npmjs.org:443`, likely because the machine has no connection.

You can't just npm install stuff into Kibana like that anyway. Are you trying to build a plugin? If you want to use that vis library, you'll need to write your own custom visualizations, and do so in a plugin. The process is different, and will require that you have an Internet connection, at least to start with.

If you'd like to build a plugin, the [plugin template](https://github.com/elastic/template-kibana-plugin/) provides a good starting point.
