I am behind a company firewall that uses ssl CA Certs anyone know how to add that to node-gyp? – Relish

Answer 1

I am stuck behind a corporate firewall. The only solution I could find was to override the default SSL CA files with the company provided ones.

Solution using company ssl CA files: node-gyp configure --cafile="/path/to/mycafile.pem"

Answer 2

I ran into this error recently. I believe the fix that finally solved it for me was adding an environment variable NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS. The value should be the same full path to a PEM-formatted certificate bundle for your proxy's root cert, similar to Tim's answer. The advantage is that it should work for any Node package that tries to make SSL connections.

Setting npm proxy works for node-gyp and node-pre-gyp "fallback to build" installation. Even http proxy server works for https sites like github.com. Below command adds a new line proxy=http://localhost:7788 into your $HOME/.npmrc:

npm config set proxy http://localhost:7788
