I tried running npm install -g polymer-cli but it is giving me an error every time I run it.

NPM is running behind corporate proxy which is configured both for git and npm. I had no problems installing bower or gulp and I have no problem using git to clone repositories.

I have tried this with no result: git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git:// from here Stack Overflow - git:// protocol blocked by company, how can I get around that?

This is part of the output:

  • I had this error when using quotes for the package name: `npm install -g '@angular/cli'` instead of `npm install -g @angular/cli` – jmbmage Apr 03 '18 at 17:36

Run the command as admin(open cmd and run as admin) or in linux as sudo. In my case, it solves the problem.

Make sure your id_rsa file is in the folder c:\users\$username\.ssh

Configure the ssh-agent program to use your SSH key:
Open the console and run start-ssh-agent. It will find your id_rsa and prompt you for the passphrase:

start-ssh-agent
Removing old ssh-agent sockets
Starting ssh-agent:  done
Enter passphrase for /c/Users/youruser/.ssh/id_rsa:
Identity added: /c/Users/youruser/.ssh/id_rsa (/c/Users/youruser/.ssh/id_rsa)

Then try to run npm install again.

Note: It's also might be possible that the ssh-agent is already running:

start-ssh-agent
Found ssh-agent at 402860
Found ssh-agent socket at /tmp/ssh-YT2trepckpeN/agent.431360

In this case use ssh-add It will find your id_rsa and prompt you for the passphrase:

ssh-add
Enter passphrase for /c/Users/youruser/.ssh/id_rsa:
Identity added: /c/Users/youruser/.ssh/id_rsa (/c/Users/youruser/.ssh/id_rsa)
