I am getting Error: tunneling socket could not be established, cause=getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND while trying to install a module in node.js. It seems some proxy error.I checked in browser setting ,proxy is disabled. But when i am checking in command prompt npm config get proxy, getting 192.168.98.5:8080. How to disable this?
First, try to execute npm config delete proxy. If you get something like Error: ENOENT, unlink '/Users/drlazor/.npmrc' is OK; that means you don't have a npm config file and, therefore, no proxy settings.
Second, verify you have no proxy settings with npm config get proxy. You should get a nullor the above error. If you keep on getting a result different from null, you should also ensure you haven't set the environment variable HTTP_PROXY.
Third and last, if none of those worked, try accessing the URL from your brower; it could be a network issue after all.
You should check the npm config page on how to set and modify config values. proxy key stores proxy server to use to connect to npm repositories. Try this :
npm config delete proxy
Note: This Works if you are not behind a Proxy i.e (From a Personal Computer)
First Execute This command
npm config edit
npm the configuration file opens comment following two lines in the opened file by putting ";"(semi Colon) in start of the line.
npm config set proxy http://proxy.company.com:8080
npm config set https-proxy http://proxy.company.com:8080
you are done!
Now install any package you want to!!!!!!!!
npm install -g cordova
npm install -g npm
or anything else u need to install
i was in the same state and got this error because of the wrong proxy value format (i just miss "http://" at the beginning of the proxies values).
If a proxy should be set, here is the format (values depend of your network) :
npm config set proxy http://proxy.mydomain:3128
npm config set https-proxy http://proxy.mydomain:3128
You need to set all 3 proxy
npm config set proxy http://proxy.name.xx:port
npm config set http-proxy http://proxy.name.xx:port
npm config set https-proxy http://proxy.name.xx:port
If you have no proxy use the following commands:
npm config delete https-proxy
npm config delete proxy
if you are using a proxy use:
npm config set proxy $PROXY
npm config set http-proxy $PROXY
Either of the two tend to work
This can also happen if your NPM is configured to use a different NPM registry server (possibly you are on a work machine and not connected to the network/VPN). To see if this is the case:
npm config edit
and look for:
registry=http://alternateurl
The default is:
https://registry.npmjs.org/
You can connect to your VPN/network or change that config to correct.
