I tried installing browserify (npm module).. I got following error-

praful@ubuntu:~/terminalcloud$ npm install -g browserify
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/browserify

npm ERR! Error: failed to fetch from registry: browserify

I have installed npm package properly. This error occurs for any package that I try installing with npm. What should I do to?

Just wondering, have you tried 

npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/

as per this

The probleme comes from the registry you are using, it is using a secure connection with the hyper transfert text protocol, that might screw things up. https://registry.npmjs.org/browserify you should use a simple registry that is easy fetchable : 

sudo npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/
