NodeJS NPM Proxy error when installing grunt

Question

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

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


        

Answer 1

The error occurs because of the configuration set-up in .npmrc file in the directory C://Users//.

Open the .npmrc file in notepad and remove the proxy set up in there. You only need ms build version and ssl set to false as shown in .

This will solve the issue. And now the npm install will work perfectly fine.
