Installation: react-native init fails - Apparent network issue

I'm trying to install React Native on my Mac. Everything was going fine until I reached the "react-native init" part.

Terminal gives me this message:

X's-imac-2:~ Y$ react-native init NewProj This will walk you through creating a new React Native project in /Users/Y/NewProj Installing react-native package from npm...

npm ERR! Darwin 15.0.0 npm ERR! argv "/usr/local/bin/node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "install" "--save" "react-native" npm ERR! node v5.5.0 npm ERR! npm v3.5.3 npm ERR! code ETIMEDOUT npm ERR! errno ETIMEDOUT npm ERR! syscall connect

npm install --save react-native` failed

My network is fine and I've tested pinging the server and it works. Not behind a proxy either. I've tried init multiple times.

What could be going wrong? Also can someone explain me react-native init works? Like do I just make my project name or am I missing something?

I know this could look stupid. I encountered with similar issue on windows. Once I paused my virus guard it worked fine.

Also can you show the steps you followed here ?It's highly unlikely to be something with installation but these npm acts weird sometimes.
