NPM doesn't install any modules: network socket hangs up

Question

Salam (means Hello) :)

I have the latest version of node.js installed on ubuntu 12.04, I\'m not behind any proxies, and my network settings are correctly configured,

Answer 1

I was having the same problem. Found a solution in this thread. You can see the effective proxy that npm is using by doing:

npm config get proxy
npm config get https-proxy

If you're behinid a proxy, try this:

mv ~/.npmrc ~/.npmrc.bak
