I am trying to install should using the below command:

npm install --save-dev should

but getting below error everytime:

I even tried changing PATH value under environment variables and also removing proxy using below commands:

npm config rm proxy

npm config rm https-proxy

npm config get proxy
>> got this as a response " http://domain/username:password@10.74.91.103:80"

Please help me out on how to fix the issue.

Please try the below command. If there is no problem with proxy, this should work.

npm install -g should@10.0.0

This should install the package in the below path.

C:\Users\gyanendra_nath\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\npm\node_modules\should

I have used the below versions.

node --version
v6.1.0

npm --version
3.8.6

My Path variable is set to

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\npm

If you would like to upgrade your node version, please refer the below link.
