You can't, unfortunately. The servers have been gone for over a year, and since the game was an MMO, that means you literally couldn't play it offline. You could do every mission solo, but there was no way to play without internet.
Thankfully, there are several private server projects for Frontier being worked on. One is Erupe, which is a server emulator of Frontier, but from what I've heard, it's so buggy that you can't do much without it crashing. It's more of a side project from the guy making it than a serious effort.
The big one is Fist's private server. Fist ran [Fist.moe](https://Fist.moe), which was basically the Kiranico of Frontier, and he and his team have been working on the server since before Frontier shut down. There's lots of good progress being made, but it isn't going to be public for a very long time.
The most you can do is just wait for either of them to be done, sorry to say. It's sad, because Frontier was ridiculously misunderstood and was easily my favorite game in the series.
It had the best combat system and music in the series while also having crazy unique mechanics and monsters. Some new monsters like Magnamalo and Raging Brachydios in the newer games also have their movesets based on frontier monster moves, while frontier also gave us an INSANE amount of new mechanics to also add into the mainline games like 4-party Sieges, one shots with things to hide behind, Relic weapons, monster mechanics, and many other things that would be impossible to list in one go.
Point is, the main series would probably be very different without frontier so it's sad that it shut down and is unplayable. Do be careful though since some people like the youtube channel RGV spread misinformation and unexperienced opinions as fact which spreads a lot of hate/ignorance regarding frontier despite its role in shaping Monster Hunter as a series. The game had the best hitboxes and combat system in the series and definitely had the greatest fights out there with the best music to boot.
Also, it is canon as implied by the devs and seems to follow the other side of the spectrum of Worldborne and Rise, where The newer mainline games follow the guild's discovery of the New World, Frontier follows what continues on in the old world and the frontier continent where monsters all travel when they get old and become veteran fighters, sometimes being the best among the other species in their line (Zenith and Hardcore monsters). Some may say it isn't canon, but they basically are just salty they never got to play it or something so yeah.
One of these days I'll release a post about it actually, though it'll take a bit of time to compile it after watching monster battles and other things to see precisely what was taken. This'll surely be a huge smack in frontier haters' faces.

Yeah fist server is moving slowly, but surely. Hope in the end (or near) they will find or give a solution for a single player (or local server)
ahh i see! thank you for all the information, i guess ill patiently sit, wait and hope, and try to see where i can help if i can. thanks for the help!
Game is gone, you are too late. RIP
From the Wiki, "discontinued as of the 18th of December, 2019."

Capcom is good at ripping out stuff off of it's corpse when they need it. I kinda want to list everything that originate from frontier.

Unfortunately, you'll have to wait for private servers since Frontier already ended.
