I've never used BeagleBone's before and I work in a lab with no internet connection, trying to get started with BeagleBone Blue boards for a project. The lab has Windows 10 computers, USB cables, 12V adapters, SD card readers, and an external CD drive. I have access to another facility with a secure internet connection for downloading and I can use an external CD drive to transfer files. I thought I could download everything off of the secure connection, transfer to the lab, and install but I'm having problems. When I tried to run the executable to install the Windows drivers, it failed because of no connection. Also I tried to install Chrome, required for the browsing the web server running on the board, and it also failed. I was able to install Putty and connect using an SSH terminal (192.168.7.2, debian, temppwd). But it didn't look like their was anything loaded. I found a bin folder in the root directory that was empty.The Getting Started instructions that came with the board says to connect the board to a computer with a USB cable and then connect to the internet. I obviously can't do that and I'm beginning to wonder if these boards will work at all without an internet connection. I hoping someone has a clever solution for me to work with these limitations.

Here's where I'm at now:I can't compile programs with rc libraries. I was trying to use some the examples from strawsondesign.com and getting the following error:fatal error: rc/led.h: no such file or directoryI was concerned about this because it doesn't look like there are any files or directories loaded on the BeagleBone Blue. When I logged on initially with SSH, I just saw a "bin" directory with no files it in.
It seem like I need the librobotcontrol package at a minimum to run these examples. The Installation section of the strawsondesign.com manual says that the correct images should have the librobotcontrol packages pre-installed. I used cat /etc/dogtag to figure out what version I have.cat /etc/dogtagBeagleBone.org Debian Image 2017-04-09The recommended version is 2018-10-07 BeagleBone Blue Flasher Image (checksum). My plan is to try and get this image loaded using Etcher, which hopefully works with Windows 10. If this doesn't work or doesn't have the librobotcontrol directories than I'll try to install librobotcontrol from the github repository manually. Manually installation doesn't look straight forward as I had hoped. I'm guessing that I have to download on the files from the repository (https://github.com/StrawsonDesign/librobotcontrol) on to a CD, transfer everything to the BBone Blue, and run the install.sh script.
