For those who setting up Node.js and using npm. I thought that the web proxy settings would be like the rest of the unix world and require me to set the HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables.

Open an command prompt or terminal session and run the following commands to configure npm to work with your web proxy. The commands use proxy.companyname.com as the address and 8080 as the port.

C:>npm config set proxy http://proxy.companyname.com:8080 C:>npm config set https-proxy http://proxy.companyname.com:8080

It looks like npm cannot make a connection to the central repositry. This could be either because of a general connectivity issue on your laptop, but you made it here :) Or it could be because of a mismatch between the Certificate Authorities on your machine and the certificate used by npm.

Make sure you can access https://registry.npmjs.org/express from your browser without any certificate (SSL Security) warnings. If that is not the cause, you should update your Certificate Authorities.

There is a Windows XP update out there for the windows Certificate root.
