Issue solved

The error was by wrong configuration of proxy on one of my attempts probably. What helped me was: npm install not work

I did the following :

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

Thanks for everyone trying to help
