I wanted to know how to deploy node-red application on different environment like development and production using Jenkins. What are the extra steps if machine is offline.  
I am new to Node-red any help is appreciable.

Node-RED is build on Node.JS so instructions for offline deployments of other Node.JS applications will apply here with the addition that you need the `~/.node-red` folder as well.

In fact though, my own opinion is that offline deployments of Node-RED when using the standard installation are needlessly complex and I believe there is an easier approach.

That approach is documented here:

> **[TotallyInformation/alternate-node-red-installer](https://github.com/TotallyInformation/alternate-node-red-installer)**
>
> An alternative installer for Node-RED. Avoids global installs, no admin rights required. - TotallyInformation/alternate-node-red-installer

This puts everything together under a single folder which can then be synchronised or copied as needed.
