When typing npm

Answer 1

I got stuck when doing npm install with couchdb-fauxton, I normally sit behind a corporation firewall and uses proxy everywhere, but switched to a direct connection, because using npm config proxy didn't work out for me. But the npm install uses git, which I still set to use proxy, that's how my install got stuck. After disable the proxy in git, it worked.
