Manually installing NPM packages

Question

I used the node windows installer v0.8.3 to install nodejs. When I try to install express like this:

npm install express

It\'s not working

Answer 1

express itself has a lot of dependencies which I believe npm also tries to retrieve if you issue npm install. I think you should just configure proxy properly => http://jjasonclark.com/how-to-setup-node-behind-web-proxy?
