I am trying to do a 'npm install express' on my machine. All my internet access is via proxy which requires authentication. I am trying the following command to set the proxy and then do the npm install but still its not working. 

npm config set proxy=http://<username>:<password>@<ip>
npm install express

here, username->myinternet password->abcd#1234 ip->192.168.32.62:3128

What am i missing here?

I have also tried various other combination like npm --proxy -g install express and also with --without-ssl --insecure.

I am totally stuck here and am unable to proceed. Is there a problem with the password abcd#1234. I read somewhere that '@' character in passwords are not processed correctly. Is it the same with '#' character too? By the way I tried passing username:password in a string literal too, but without any success.

  • What is "not working"? – Joe Nov 25 '13 at 12:34
  • Also, make sure you're using the HTTP vs HTTPS registry: `npm config set registry=http://registry.npmjs.org/` – Joe Nov 25 '13 at 12:35
  • unfortunately joe, i have set registry also and desspite of that it is not installing packages. It still says "npm ERR! network If you are behind a proxy, please make sure that the npm ERR! network 'proxy' config is set properly. See: 'npm help config'" . Not sure why its not reading proxy settings although npm get proxy displays correct settings. – aryann Nov 25 '13 at 12:40
