Can the rest server connect to a remote hyperledger fabric blockchain?

[idoor88]

I installed the project by npm install, it installed successfully and run the command:
npm run start, I got an error as attached, I feel it is because I did not install docker? why it asks the file org1.network-profile.yaml, do I need to install the hyperledger-fabric? can I use a remote hyperledger-fabric, which is installed in the cloud by my co-worker? by the way, I can not install docker on my Mac, since I do not have admin right, and I am not allowed to have admin right.
