This tutorial uses Cafiine, in which all the files are hosted on your PC. The disadvantage to using Cafiine is that you can't do this tutorial if you can't go online with your wii u and you'll need a PC. The advantage is that if you are a beta tester or you are a theme developer, every time you want to change your files, you won't have to close your wii u, take out SD, edit, reinsert, launch hax, and etc... Instead, you'll get a live preview.

If you want to have everything hosted on your PC, I'd advise you follow our SDCafiine tutorial. Keep in mind that you'll need Haxchi installed if you need to be able to use this offline.
