npm install error/issue

Question

I have already set proxy configurations in .npmrc file. Executing the npm install command gives me error as follows"

$ npm install npm ERR! Windows_NT 6.1.7601 npm ERR! argv "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe" "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin\npm-cli.js" "install" npm ERR! node v6.9.4 npm ERR! npm v3.10.10 npm ERR! code ECONNRESET

npm ERR! network tunneling socket could not be established, statusCode=400 npm ERR! network This is most likely not a problem with npm itself npm ERR! network and is related to network connectivity. npm ERR! network In most cases you are behind a proxy or have bad network settings. npm ERR! network npm ERR! network If you are behind a proxy, please make sure that the npm ERR! network 'proxy' config is set properly. See: 'npm help config'

npm ERR! Please include the following file with any support request: npm ERR! D:\Pooja\quickstart\npm-debug.log

The .npmrc file in user folder contains following values

 1. registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/
 2. proxy=http://[email protected]:8080/
 3. http_proxy=http://username:password@[email protected]:8080/

Is there any way to solve this issue?

Answer 1

Does your proxy URL have '@' symbol in it? @ symbol separates the user ID and password from the URL. If it does, you can try using '%40' to replace it.

Also, it is https-proxy not http_proxy.

A correct config would look like -

registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/
proxy=http://username:password@proxydomain:8080/
https-proxy=https://username:password@proxydomain:8080/

Answer 2

Someone who comes from china may solve this problem by using Taobao mirror.

npm --registry=https://registry.npm.taobao.org install

Answer 3

first give the command and check if proxy is set,npm config get proxy if not set do the following from command prompt

npm config set proxy http://username:password@proxy address:8080 npm config set https-proxy http://username:password@proxy address:8080

and if password contains '@'in password, then replace it with '%40'
