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 a similar issue with my windows machine and i fixed it by first checking whether my proxy got some value by executing the below command.

npm config get proxy

in return i got the below:

http://usr:pwd@host/:port

So if anyone who is not under a proxy layer first set the proxy as null by executing the below command.

npm config set proxy null

now if you excecute your npm i it should not throw any network error.
