 > *Please note:* This npm package version tracks the version of nw.js that will be installed, with an additional build number that is used for revisions to the installer. As such `0.12.0-1` and `0.12.0-2` will both install `nw.js@0.12.0` but the latter has newer changes to the installer.

+## download binaries from custom location

+The installer attempts to download binaries from the default location of `http://dl.nwjs.io/v`. You can override this by setting the npm config property `nwjs_urlbase` on the command line by passing the `--nwjs_urlbase` option:
+
+``` shell
+npm install nwjs --nwjs_urlbase=http://my.own.location/somewhere
+```
+
+or adding it to your `.npmrc` file (https://www.npmjs.org/doc/files/npmrc.html):
+
+```
+nwjs_urlbase=http://my.own.location/somewhere

+You can alternatively set an environment variable `NWJS_URLBASE`:
