Any suggestions how to install grunt in windows behind a proxy?

I'm trying to install grunt on a windows machine that is behind a corporate proxy.

I have installed node and npm, I can see the versions of both of them from the command line. But when I try to install grunt as is described in the grunt site http://gruntjs.com/getting-started but I get the following errors and I can't figure it out how to solve it.

Here is the Error message I get:

npm.cmd: npm ERR! Error: CERT_UNTRUSTED
At line:1 char:4 + npm <<<< install -g grunt-cli + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified:
(npm ERR! Error: CERT_UNTRUSTED:String) [], RemoteException + FullyQualifiedErrorId:

npm ERR!cwd C:\Dev\gruntTest2, npm ERR! node -v v0.10.31, npm ERR! npm -v 1.4.23

I am using visual studio 2013. I have tried installing direct from the command line and from the Package Manager Console, and basically I get the same error.

Any suggestions how to solve this?

Thanks in advance.

In order to be able to install grunt or anything else from npm, first I need to use the following command:

npm config set strict-ssl false

I found this answer in different places around stackoverflow and other sites. But I used as a reference Ramesh answer. I also include the proxy address of the network, but that didn't work until I change strict-ssl configuration.

You could run a proxy on your own system ( fiddler can function as a proxy)

and point your browser proxy settings to this proxy.

Because fiddler is started under your credentials, proxy authentication is no longer a problem.

Remember to restart programs after you change the proxy settings
