npm ERR network getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND

Question

I am getting npm ERR  network getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND error while trying to install any package using NPM  I know there are numerous threads on the same issue but I could not find any thread which can help me    I have set the proxy  amp  I think its something to do with proxy not being set correctly not using the correct url    npm config set proxy http   proxy company com 8080 npm config set https-proxy http   proxy company com 8080   Is there any way to check the URL I am using while setting proxy is correct  Are there any steps I need to take in order rectify this issue

does your proxy require you to authenticate? because if it does, you might want you configure your proxy like this.

placeholder names. username is a placeholder for your actual username. password is a placeholder for your actual password. proxy.company.com is a placeholder for your actualy proxy *port" is your actualy port the proxy goes through. its usualy 8080

npm config set proxy "http://username:[email protected]:port"
npm config set https-proxy "http://username:[email protected]:port"

The solution which worked for me    Delete proxy  npm config delete proxy Check npm config get proxy which should return null   Now  check if you are able to install the package  If not working  try manually editing the config  type  npm config edit  remember you are in VI editor   Add   before for commenting out    npm config set proxy http   proxy company com 8080 npm config set https-proxy http   proxy company com 8080  Save and exit the file  x  Now  try installing the packages  It should work

Take a look at your HTTP PROXY and HTTPS PROXY environment variables   I thought mine were set correctly  as http   username password proxyhost proxyport  but it turned out that they were actually causing the problem  After deleting those variables  and restarting the commant prompt  the npm commands worked again

Maybe it s because the proxy do not stand for https  What I do is clear the proxy content of    npmrc  or use      npm config delete proxy   What s more  nrm is recommended for this problem

for some reason my error kept pointing to the  proxy  property in the config file  Which was misleading  During my troubleshooting I was trying different values for the proxy and https-proxy properties  but would only get the error stating to make sure the proxy config was set properly  and pointing to an older value    Using  NPM CONFIG LS -L   command lists all the properties and values in the config file  I was then able to see the value in question was matching the https-proxy  therefore using the https-proxy  So I changed the proxy  my company uses different ones  and then it worked   figured I would add this  as with these subtle confusing errors  every perspective on it helps

First I check whether proxy is set for me or not using this     npm config get proxy   It returned null then I run this command   npm config set strict-ssl false   It disable strict-ssl for that cmd session   You can see complete list of config using this   npm config list ls -l
