NPM doesn't install any modules: network socket hangs up

Question

Salam (means Hello) :)

I have the latest version of node.js installed on ubuntu 12.04, I\'m not behind any proxies, and my network settings are correctly configured,

Answer 1

I tried multiple solution but most of cases happened with me is network/ssl and proxy issue.Network/ssl cases are very common and there are bunch of solution but with proxy thing I shared my fixes with you.

Bash Commands:

npm config set proxy null
npm config set https-proxy null
npm config set http-proxy null

in my case I'm using https://registry.npmjs.org/ url. After NULL proxy its start working. npm set default proxy as http://my-proxy.com:1080/ so either we have to change proxy url or null it. To get your default proxy hit below command in your bash.

npm config get proxy

Answer 2

Find .npmrc file, open with note pad. then delete the proxy setting there
