While walking through the angular-phonecat tutorial, I came across the following error immediately after running the npm install command:
I looked in the log file, too, but it more or less repeats the same error message shown in the console. What am I missing?
Try making git use an http connection rather than a git one like so:
git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://
Sometimes the git protocol is blocked, but the https one won't be.

My guess is that you're behind some network proxy or firewall that restricts the ports you can access. In this case, you can tell git to use https:// instead of git:// for cloning. Answer is based off of this question.
git config --global url.https://github.com/.insteadOf git://github.com/
