How do I install Cypress using CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY?

Due to company firewall I cannot just use npm install cypress.

I have the cypress.zip in my downloads folder

On windows command prompt I have tried the below: CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY=/Users/HMiller/Downloads/cypress.zip npm install cypress And i get the below error

'CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Or in Shell I get this-

CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY=/Users/HMiller/Downloads/cypress.zip : The term 'CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY=/Users/HMiller/Downloads/cypress.zip' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:1

CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY=/Users/HMiller/Downloads/cypress.zip npm insta ...

  + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (CYPRESS_INSTALL...ads/cypress.zip:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
  + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

Any help is appreciated

Solution

You Can Try These steps,

set CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY=\your\path\to\cypress.x.x.x.zip

npm install cypress

npx cypress open

If you are trying to add scripts in package.json

  "test": "npm run cypressinstallbinary && npx cypress run",
  "cypressinstallbinary": 
  "CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY=/path/to/cypress.zip npm install cypress",
