Impossible to install atom-beautify on Windows 7 64bit machine with apm

I'm trying to install atom-beautify plugin to GitHub Atom editor with apm but still getting this error:

npm ERR! git fetch -a origin (https://github.com/Benvie/harmony-collections.git) fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'https'
npm WARN `git config --get remote.origin.url` returned wrong result (git://github.com/ariya/esprima.git)
npm ERR! git clone git://github.com/ariya/esprima.git Cloning into bare repository 'C:\Users\pc00120\.atom\.node-gyp\.atom\.apm\_git-remotes\git-github-com-ariya-esprima-git-9077e517'...

npm ERR! If you need help, you may report this error at:

I'm behind corporate proxy but I have configured it properly and can execute e.g. these commands with no error:

git clone https://github.com/Benvie/harmony-collections.git
git clone git://github.com/ariya/esprima.git

my .apmrc

https-proxy=http://username:[email protected]:3128
http-proxy=http://username:[email protected]:3128
strict-ssl=false

some other conf

I've already discussed this problem on plugin's forum on GitHub but with no success. Any suggestions?

The accepted answer did not work for me. What did work, was to add more git folders to the path.

I have a batch file, e.g. atom-gitpaths.bat with the following contents:

@ECHO OFF
ECHO Adding Git paths to the system path...
PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\libexec\git-core;%PATH%
ECHO Done. Launching atom...
CALL atom.cmd

This is known npm bug, it has been almost fixed, see https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/5621/commits (unfortunately merge failed). Quick and dirty fix: add this line u = u.replace(/^git:/, "https:") before var normalized = normalizeGitUrl(u) in add-remote.git.js (AppData\Local\atom\app-0.176.0\resources\app\apm\node_modules\npm\lib\cache\add-remote.git.js)
