Have you tried command-line options instead of the  npmrc file   I think something like npm --proxy http   proxy-server 8080  install  package-name  worked for me   I ve also seen the following  npm config set proxy http   proxy-server 8080

This works for me in Windows   npm config set proxy http   domain 5Cuser pass host port   If you are not in any domain  use   npm config set proxy http   user pass host port   If your password contains special characters such as       and so on  replace them by their URL encoded values  For example  -  22   -  40   -  3A   5C is used for the character

My issue came down to a silly mistake on my part   As I had quickly one day dropped my proxies into a windows   bat file  http proxy  https proxy  and ftp proxy   I forgot to escape the special characters for the url-encoded domain user   5C  and password having the question mark       3F    That is to say  once you have the encoded command  don t forget to escape the     in the bat file command   I changed  set http proxy http   domain 5Cuser password 3F myproxy 8080   to  set http proxy http   domain  5Cuser password  3F myproxy 8080   Maybe it s an edge case but hopefully it helps someone

There has been many answers above for this question  but none of those worked for me  All of them mentioned to add http    prefix  So I added it too  All failed   It finally works after I accidentally removed http    prefix  Final config is like this   npm config set registry http   registry npmjs org  npm config set http-proxy ip port npm config set https-proxy ip port npm config set proxy ip port npm set strict-ssl false   I don t know the logic behind this  but it worked  If none of answers above works for you  maybe you can have a try on this way  Hope this one is useful

There is good information on curl s page on SSL and certificate issues  I base most of my answer on the information there    Using strict-ssl false is bad practice and can create issues  What we can do instead is add the certificate that is being injected  by the  man in the middle  certificate    How to solve this on Windows    Download the CA Certificates from curl based on Mozilla s CA bundle  You can also use curl s  firefox-db2pem sh  shellscript to convert your local Firefox database  Go to a webpage using https  for example Stackoverflow in Chrome or Internet Explorer  Click the lock icon  click View certificates or  Valid  in Chrome Navigate to the Certification path  The top certificate  or the root certificate is the one we want to extract  Click that certificate and then  view certificate  Click the second tab   Details   Click  Copy to file   Pick the DER format and make note of where you save the file  Pick a suitable filename  like rootcert cer If you have Git installed you will have openssl exe  Otherwise  install git for windows at this stage  Most likely the openssl executable will be at C  Program Files git usr bin openssl exe  We will use openssl to convert the file to the PEM format we need for NPM to understand it  Convert the file you saved in step 5 by using this command  openssl x509 -inform DES -in   rootcert   cer -out outcert pem -text where rootcert is the filename of the certificate you saved in step 5  Open the outcert pem in a text-editor smart enough to understand line-endings  so not notepad  Select all the text and copy it to clipboard  Now we will paste that content to the end of the CA Cert bundle made in step 1  So open the cacert pem in your advanced texteditor  Go to the end of the file and paste the content from previous step to the end of file   Preserve the empty line below what you just pasted  Copy the saved cabundle pem to a suitable place  Eg your  userprofile  or    Make note of the location of the file  Now we will tell npm yarn to use the new bundle  In a commandline  write npm config set cafile   C  Users username cacert pem where C  Users username cacert pem is the path from step 10  Optionally  turn on strict-ssl again  npm config set strict-ssl true   Phew  We made it  Now npm can understand how to connect  Bonus is that you can tell curl to use the same cabundle pem and it will also understand HTTPs

I solved this problem this way    I run this command   npm config set strict-ssl false  Then set npm to run with http  instead of https   npm config set registry  http   registry npmjs org    Then I install packages using this syntax   npm --proxy http   username password cacheaddress com br 80 install packagename    Skip the username password part if proxy doesn t require you to authenticate  EDIT  A friend of mine just pointed out that you may get NPM to work behind a proxy by setting BOTH HTTP PROXY and HTTPS PROXY environment variables  then issuing normally the command  npm install express  for example   EDIT2  As  BStruthers commented  keep in mind that passwords containing     wont be parsed correctly  if contains   put the entire password in quotes
