What is the process of installing ZenPacks from github?  Also what is the process of installing ZenPacks from github when the Zenoss server has no internet access?

You can just download the zip file somewhere else, get it to the zenoss server, extract the file and either turn it into an egg, or do a zenpack --link --install /path/to/zenpack/folder

So the only answer is to find the zip file from somewhere else?  Which would mean that the answer is that there isn't a way to install Zenpacks from Github if the Zenoss server has no internet access.  Is that correct?

Sorry, I mean you need a computer with internet access to get *anything* from github... How else would it work? That computer doesn't have to be the Zenoss server. You can download the files from github, and then you must *somehow* get it to the zenoss server. Then you install it... I mean, files don't transfer by magic?

Oh my bad I took your statement +"You can just download the zip file somewhere else"+ to mean I had to find the code somewhere else other then github.  Sorry for the confusion and thank you for your answer.

Since I have your ear do you see why the below is failing?  I pulled the ZIP(zenoss-ZenPacks.ShaneScott.DeviceSearch-a5b9eae.zip) from github and unzipped it and then issued the below command.  Thanks again :-)

Based on that file name, I think I know whats up. Did you happen to navigate to https://github.com/zenoss/ZenPacks.ShaneScott.DeviceSearch https://github.com/zenoss/ZenPacks.ShaneScott.DeviceSearch, followed by clicking the Zip button toward the upper left?

If so what happened, is that you actually downloaded a ZIP file of the latest commit in version control (GitHub). So technically you have the Zenpack, but not in egg format. Ideally the GitHub repo owners will make the eggs available in the "Downloads" section of their repos. A more immediate course of action would be to follow the links here: http://community.zenoss.org/message/61949#61949 http://community.zenoss.org/message/61949#61949 and download the egg file, rather than source code.

If your dead set on installing from the source ZIP, let me know and I'll write up some instructions.

You assessment of what I did was exactly right.  Thank you for the link to the .egg file.  An .egg file is definitely prefered :-).  Thanks for the offer on hooking me up with some instructions.  I don't need them but I'm sure others would find them usefull since going through the zenpacks on github ( https://github.com/zenoss https://github.com/zenoss) reveals that a few of them do not provide .egg files.  Or how to generate an .egg file from the source ZIP.  In anycase I'm all set and thank you very much.
