Install TEA Behind a Corporate Firewall

Install TEA Behind a Corporate Firewall

npx skills add bmad-code-org/bmad-method-test-architecture-enterprise fetches TEA from GitHub. If your network blocks GitHub, use a local clone or internal Git mirror.

1. Clone TEA locally, or use your internal Git mirror:

   git clone /path/to/your/internal/mirror/bmad-method-test-architecture-enterprise \
     /path/to/local/bmad-method-test-architecture-enterprise

2. From your project root, add the skills from that path. npx skills add accepts a local path or a Git URL in place of the GitHub name:

   npx skills add /path/to/local/bmad-method-test-architecture-enterprise
   # or: npx skills add https://git.internal.example.com/mirrors/bmad-method-test-architecture-enterprise.git

   This adds the TEA skills and bmod-tea, which holds the setup questions and the knowledge base.

3. Add the bmad skill and its module record bmod-core-tools from BMad Method core the same way, from a clone or mirror of BMAD-METHOD, if the project does not have them:

   npx skills add /path/to/local/BMAD-METHOD --skill bmad bmod-core-tools

   bmad setup runs through uv with Python 3.11 or later. Install uv from an internal mirror, and make a Python 3.11 interpreter available to it, because uv downloads Python from the internet when none is installed.

4. In your assistant chat, run:

   bmad setup tea

Setup and every TEA skill run locally once the skills are installed. Updates are the exception: bmad setup updates through npx skills update, which looks for new versions on GitHub. To update behind the firewall, pull the new version into your clone or mirror and run step 2 again.

If your environment also blocks npm, use an internal npm proxy so npx can fetch the skills CLI.
