That links says how to use it on an intranet but it says to load the script from google. Nowhere does it say how to host the script locally.

As I said before they recommend against it:

You may go against their recommendation according to your needs but most people should follow the recommended approach.

I never said no-one recommends hosting the file locally, I said google recommends against it.

It is more maintainable if you don't maintain it and let google maintain it.

I understand why you need to host it locally but my recommendation is for most people to let google host it as they recommend. Since so many sites use google analytics most users already have this file cached in the browser.

Best,
