pls remove the   HTTP PROXY HTTPS PROXY proxy from the npmrc file

In my case all Internet access must run through a proxy and npm was not configured with the proxy to reach http   registry npmjs org   I ran npm install --log-level verbose to get more information and saw that the response had HTML stating I was not authenticated with the proxy   Running the following fixed it  replacing below with your username password proxy address   npm config set proxy  username password your proxy com  npm config set https-proxy  username password your proxy com    I do not advise putting the password in raw text instead using something like cntlm to set up a local proxy that delegates to the real proxy
