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

There has been many answers above for this question, but none of those worked for me. All of them mentioned to add http:// prefix. So I added it too. All failed.

It finally works after I accidentally removed http:// prefix. Final config is like this:

npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/
npm config set http-proxy ip:port
npm config set https-proxy ip:port
npm config set proxy ip:port
npm set strict-ssl false

I don't know the logic behind this, but it worked. If none of answers above works for you, maybe you can have a try on this way. Hope this one is useful.
