Is there a way to make npm install (the command) to work behind proxy?

Question

Read about a proxy variable in a .npmrc file but it does not work. Trying to avoid manually downloading all require packages and installing.

Answer 1

For me even though python etc will all work though our corporate proxy npm would not.

I tried

npm config set proxy http://proxyccc.xxx.ca:8080 npm config set https-proxy https://proxyccc.xxx.ca:8080 npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/

as instructed but kept getting the same error.

It was only when I removed https-proxy https://proxyccc.xxx.ca:8080 from the .npmrc file that npm install electron --save-dev worked
