If in case you are using ubuntu trusty 14 0 then search for Network and select Network Proxy and make it none  Now proxy may still be set in system environment variables  check  env grep -i proxy   you may get output as  http proxy http   192 168 X X 8080  ftp proxy ftp   192 168 X X 8080  socks proxy socks   192 168 X X 8080  https proxy https   192 168 X X 8080    unset these environment variable as   unset http proxy    and in this way unset all  Now run npm install ensuring user must have permission to make node modules folder where you are installing module

Next to what has described  Roshith in his answer here   If you are behind a proxy  set it correctly in npm  npm config set proxy http   proxyhost proxyport npm config set https-proxy http   proxyhost proxyport   I had to change also the the file   bashrc which also contained a worng proxy setting in my case  I changed those settings here  export HTTP PROXY  quot http   proxyhost proxyport quot  export HTTPS PROXY  quot http   proxyhost proxyport quot   Use the following command to verify the proxy settings  env   grep -i proxy

If you are behind a proxy  set it correctly in npm    gt npm config set proxy http   proxyhost proxyport  gt npm config set https-proxy http   proxyhost proxyport   Notes    For SSL https proxies  the protocol in URL should be http not https If your set up is on a Docker Vagrant instance or a hosted VM  use IP address instead of hostname for proxy as the later might not be resolvable  If there is no proxy   remove proxy config from npm   gt npm config set proxy null  gt npm config set https-proxy null

If you using gnome  and turned off the proxy at the network level  you also need to make sure you don t have proxy enabled in your terminal    gconftool-2 -a  system http proxy    host   http   localhost   port   2000  use http proxy   false  use authentication   false  authentication password     authentication user     ignore hosts    localhost 127 0 0 0 8    You can drop it with  gconftool-2 -t string -s  system http proxy host    gconftool-2 -u  system http proxy port gconftool-2 -u  system http proxy host unset http proxy

I spent days trying all the above answers and ensuring I had the proxy and other settings in my node config correct   All were and it was still failing   I was am using a Windows 10 machine and behind a corp proxy   For some legacy reason  I had HTTP PROXY and HTTPS PROXY set in my user environment variables which overrides the node ones  unknown to me   so correcting these  the HTTPS PROXY one was set to https  so I changed to HTTP  fixed the problem for me   This is the problem when we can have the Same variables in Multiple places  you don t know what one is being used

After looking at all of the answers  the one that helped me was providing proxy values in-line with the install command  One of my frustrations was adding the domain to my username  This is not needed  I used the following example to install a specific version of Angular   npm install -g  angular cli 1 7 3 --proxy  http   username password proxy server proxy port  --registry http   registry npmjs org

I also ran into the similar issue and was using CNTLM for proxy configuration  In my case HTTP PROXY and HTTPS PROXY are taking higher precedence over http proxy and https proxy so be aware of changing all proxy variables   env grep -i proxy   and make sure all of the below proxy variables should point to the same proxy   HTTP-PROXY    http   localhost 3128  HTTPS-PROXY    https   localhost 3128  HTTPS PROXY    http   localhost 3128  HTTP PROXY    http   localhost 3128  PROXY    http   localhost 3128  http-proxy    http   localhost 3128  http proxy    http   localhost 3128  https-proxy    https   localhost 3128   https proxy    https   localhost 3128  proxy    http   localhost 3128        I know some variables are unneccessary but I m not sure which is using what

I know this is way too late but if someone has a similar issue in the future and you are sure you have no proxy set but you have an environment variable called http proxy  Please delete it and try again  I had set a proxy for Fiddler
