This will probably solve your problem:

npm config set proxy proxy-url:port (http:\\proxy-name:port)

npm config set https-proxy proxy-url:port

  1. If you are working behind a proxy, configure it:

npm config set proxy http://login:pass@host:port

  1. Check the value of your proxy configuration:

npm config get http-proxy

  1. Try again to get your package...

Adding to the selected answer

a) "npm config set proxy proxy-url:port (http:\proxy-name:port)

b) npm config set https-proxy proxy-url:port"

make sure you add "http:\\" to your proxy name, and packages downloaded from npm use ssl so try the second option for sure.

It was a stuck step on my side,

the following syntax worked for me:

npm config set proxy http:/myproxyserver:port

But still ppl, who ever facing proxy issue in npm install,can try the following method.

Go to C:\Users\YourUserName
Create a file named .npmrc (no need of any prefixname just .npmrc)
Inside that file type the following

proxy = username:password@ip:port (add http:// before username)

That's all.It is perfectly working for me....

The traceroute command will usually tell you where a connection fails and would have lead you straight to the corporate proxy in this case.

You may need to use the windows "run as" command (which is equivalent to the *nix "sudo" command) in order to have the correct privileges on your machine.
