NodeJS NPM Proxy error when installing grunt

When I\'m trying to install grunt via npm, I\'m getting a following error:

C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node_modules\\npm>npm inst

You need to configure the npm config file, this can be done in the terminal:

npm config set proxy http://proxy.company.com:8080

npm config set https-proxy http://proxy.company.com:8080

Your error log suggests to see 'npm help config', so i think the problem comes from there.

Good luck!
