Issues installing Karma with NPM

Question

Trying to install Karma with node v0.10.13 and npm 1.3.2. Tried with and without sudo. Here's the log:

Any ideas? Thanks.

UPDATE: Using the mirror provided below I have installed Karma but I think I have a bigger issue.

A common error I'm seeing in logs from trying to install dependencies and other packages is:

1) Try installing it from a mirror:

sudo npm install --registry http://registry.npmjs.eu -g karma

2) As for the other error try this:

npm config set strict-ssl false

See: receiving error: 'Error: SSL Error: SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAIN' while using npm

Thanks. it seems to have worked. what's the difference? – Alex B Feb 28 '14 at 01:28
@AlexB for obvious reasons, a server could possibly be down sometime, so we have mirrors! – Ilan Frumer Feb 28 '14 at 01:41
Thanks. I'm not sure it was a version issue though. I've updated my question with further issues. – Alex B Feb 28 '14 at 02:03
@AlexB you are probably behind a proxy that is messing with your ssl – Ilan Frumer Feb 28 '14 at 02:15
Yea seems like it. Saw another post that suggests that or a certificate issue. Not much I can do. – Alex B Feb 28 '14 at 02:17

Don't use http

or disable ssl

Please don't use the strict-ssl false option stated in the other answer. This will ignore ssl checks. Hence is not safe!

Official solution

Instead go for the official solution from NPM.

First try updating npm itself.

npm install npm -g

Otherwise tell your current version of npm to use known registrars

npm config set ca ""

This solution worked well for us! We didn't like the idea of turning off strict-ssl. Also, we found that we needed to use set ca before having npm update itself. After that, karma and others installed correctly. – J Burnett Feb 28 '14 at 15:55
You say "don't use the `strict-ssl false`" option, and then say to "`set ca ""`"; you're effectively doing the same thing, your method is arguably MORE insecure. Not saying it won't work, but just for anyone reading this, you're still bypassing ssl security by doing this. – bschlueter Apr 18 '14 at 15:01
@bschlueter this is not my solution but the one from node. Also the set ca command is only in case the npm update itself wouldn't help. The best and safe solution is the update only. Not the 2 combined. – hcpl Apr 18 '14 at 16:26

npm acknowledged this error on their blog: http://blog.npmjs.org/post/78085451721/npms-self-signed-certificate-is-no-more

The solution: either

1) upgrade your version of npm

npm install npm -g - or -

2) tell your current version of npm to use known registrars

npm config set ca ""

The first did not work for me. I get an UNTRUSTED error when subsequently installing karma. The 2nd seems to work. Thanks for the notification! – Alex B Mar 03 '14 at 13:49
