If you are behind a proxy, please make sure that the npm ERR! 'proxy' config is set properly. See: 'npm help config'

Try:

npm config set proxy null
npm config set https-proxy null
npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/

I got a similar error when I was using Node JS behind a proxy server. Here's what I had to do to fix it:

npm config set proxy http://jdoe:[e-mail]:8080 npm config set https-proxy http://jdoe:[e-mail]:8080

Just replace "jdoe" and "password123" with your own credentials to access the proxy server. Everything after the @ is the server domain name, or you can enter the exact IP address too. In my case, both addresses were HTTP (not HTTPS).

To confirm the changes, you can type:

npm config list

and your settings should be listed.

You can get the proxy settings (address) from your browser too.

I have been trying to fix this issue by

npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/
npm config set proxy http://myproxyblabla:myport
npm config set https-proxy http://myproxyblabla:myport

But it didn't help. The only one solution which worked for me is adding additional fields to host file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts)

151.101.36.162 registry.npmjs.com
151.101.36.162 registry.npmjs.org

This allowes npm to resolve address to server from which it will download needed files. You can get familiar with closed issue on npm repository where this solution is approved by npm contributors.
