Offline use of Pluto

[wulpuqu]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to use Pluto on an offline machine to write notebooks. But unfortunately, the edition of notebook is impossible.

After Pluto.run(), it starts the default browser (here Firefox v78.5) and the browser prints the home page. It takes a fairly long time since some .js scripts need to be loaded from cdn.jsdelivr.net. Clicking on create notebook, gives a blank page after waiting for firefox to fail all .js scripts queries from cdn.jsdelivr.net.

Could it be possible that Pluto.jl comes with these java scripts instead of reaching for it on the web ? I am not very familiar with Web development but if it is possible this feature will allow users to use Pluto.jl on offline computers.

Edit: With Pluto v0.14.3, Firefox v78.5 on a Linux Debian machine.

For anyone wanting a quick solution to this, here is a script that will edit Pluto's frontend files to use local assets instead of a CDN.

WARNING: It directly modifies Pluto's files, so I'd recommend instantiating your project in a separate depot. See instructions at the top of the gist.
