Answer 1

It looks like you were not able to reach the npm-public registry, follow below steps:

1) You can set npm-public registry URL by hitting below command from the terminal.

npm set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/.

2) Then clear the npm cache using npm cache clean --force.

3)Then open your .npmrc file, you can find and open the same using gedit ~/.npmrc command and add below line in it:

@progress:registry=http://registry.npmjs.org/

Then hit npm i @progress/kendo-react-grid --verbose command.

Hope this will work for you!

Answer 2

I looked at my ~/.npmrc and this is what was in it

//registry.npmjs.org/:_password="XXXXXX"
//registry.npmjs.org/:username=XXXXX
//registry.npmjs.org/:email=XXXXXX@XXXXX.xom
//registry.npmjs.org/:always-auth=false

with ~/.npmrc the # is used for a comment See documentation

I commented out all 4 lines and I was able to run

npm i @progress/kendo-react-grid successfully

for whatever reason I don't have a account on https://www.npmjs.com
