Answer 1

I solved it with the following:

npm config rm https-proxy

npm config delete https-proxy

set HTTP_PROXY=null
set HTTPS_PROXY=null

Answer 2

I was going through the same error. the root cause was the proxy settings : there are several answers provided in here to reset the proxy but none of them worked for me. Below commands solved my problem, give them a try.

npm config rm proxy 
npm config rm https-proxy

Answer 3

You can try to throttle the number of simultaneous connections with the following command (for example 3 maximum simultaneous connections):

npm set maxsockets 3

The CLI has been allowing this option since npm@3.8.0. The default is 50 simultaneous connections max. See this link for further reference.

Answer 4

First see the npm config list:

npm config list

If you don't find http-proxy, https-proxy and proxy correctly set, then You need to configure npm to work with your web proxy. For example:

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

Answer 5

I solved with:

npm config set proxy null

Answer 6

First, run npm config list and check whether you are behind a proxy. If so, try running

npm config delete proxy
npm config delete http-proxy
npm config delete https-proxy

as required

**If this method did not work, reinstall nodejs.
