nodejs - error self signed certificate in certificate chain

A snippet can look like this:

var fs = require(\'fs\');
var https = require(\'https\');

var o

You can fix this issue using NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 in the terminal or inserting the following line within the JS file.

process.env['NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED'] = 0;

Beware that this a hack and it should not be used in production.

If you are using windows then run the following command in the command prompt:

set NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 

After that, npm install will work.
