Answer 1

If on Windows, you may need to set an HTTP_PROXY environment variable. Try these steps in your command prompt, assuming your proxy server is http://proxy.you.com:8080.

1. SETX HTTP_PROXY http://proxy.you.com:8080 (It should return SUCCESS: Specified value was saved. You can also do this in System Properties...Advanced...Environment Variables)
2. Close your command prompt window and reopen. (This ensures your new environment variable will be used in your session.)
3. Now run your command: webdriver-manager update
