Answer 1

May be you are sitting behind a corporation firewall which uses proxy everywhere. Depending on your situation, you may to modify local .npmrc for your current project instead of the global one that affects all npm commands on your computer.

You can equivalently set the configuration properties using commands of the form "npm config set ", e.g. npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/

Execute below commands on terminal:-

npm config set registry 

npm config set  https-proxy null

npm config set  proxy null
