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

Add the proxy and http_proxy field with your credentials (encoded if it contains any special characters) to your .npmrc file and run npm install again. It should work.

for example:

proxy=http://username:passcode@proxyURL:80/ https_proxy=http://username:passcode@proxyURL:80
