Answer 1

The solution which worked for me:

1. Delete proxy: npm config delete proxy
2. Check npm config get proxy which should return null

Now, check if you are able to install the package. If not working, try manually editing the config, type: npm config edit, remember you are in VI editor.

Add ; before(for commenting out): npm config set proxy http://proxy.company.com:8080 npm config set https-proxy http://proxy.company.com:8080

Save and exit the file :x

Now, try installing the packages. It should work.
