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/

Are you able to download the file registry.npmjs.org/es6-promise/-/es6-promise-4.0.5.tgz through your browser from behind the proxy? Also it will help if you provide the output of the command npm config list (make sure you mask the password). 407 status code means your proxy did not authenticate your request. Make sure you are using a correct user id and password. Something is causing the proxy login to fail. – Gamp

Ya it is working now.Problem was with the proxy address.I had entered incorrect proxy address. @Gamp thank you – Berniecebernier

Answer 2

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'

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