npm notice Beginning October 4, 2021, all connections to the npm registry - including for package installation - must use TLS 1.2 or higher

I am getting this warning from github on my npm project build process... I tried searching on the internet and also read the blog link posted by github - but I could not find the solution to it anywhere. Am I missing something ?

Warning seen

You probably had this registry setting in your local .npmrc file with http instead of https

$ npm config list
; "user" config from /Users/jay/.npmrc

registry = "http://registry.npmjs.org/"

; node bin location = /Users/jay/.asdf/installs/nodejs/20.11.0/bin/node
; node version = v20.11.0
; npm local prefix = /Users/jay
; npm version = 10.2.4
; cwd = /Users/jay
; HOME = /Users/jay
; Run `npm config ls -l` to show all defaults.

$ cat ~/.npmrc
registry=http://registry.npmjs.org/

Fix

$ npm set registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/

maxtimeout didn't work for me so I tried converting to yarn by npm I -g yarn and then yarn install in the root directory of the project(where I have to install the node_modules)

Well, I had several problems with node and npm. The one described in this question was only the last one.

I was not able to execute npm install, the node_modules were partially downloaded and at the end of the execution they were all deleted (the folder was visible, but it was deleted after running the command).

First problem: --location=global

First, I was getting this error message:

npm WARN config global `--global`, `--local` are deprecated. Use `--location=global` instead

Which I solved by following these instructions: https://stackoverflow.com/a/72592742/7389293

Apparently that allowed me to update to:

  • node -v: c16.16.0
  • npm -v: 8.17.0

Today's date: August 13, 2022.

Second problem: use TLS 1.2 or higher

Then, I still was having the error described in this question, which didn't allowed me to install the node_modules folder in my project:

npm notice Beginning October 4, 2021, all connections to the npm registry - including for package installation - must use TLS 1.2 or higher

The selected answer to the question made in the present screen your reading, finally fixed the problem: https://stackoverflow.com/a/70555822/7389293

After all of this I was able to run npm again, install all the packages from the package.json file, and run the website normally in the browser.

You are facing that issue because your registry is set to HTTP version which is a bit insecure so the first thing that you should do is to put it to HTTPS version by running the following command below

npm set registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/

Then, after that you have to make sure your version of npm supports TLS 1.2, you can install a test package from an HTTPS endpoint that already has TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 disabled: by running this command below

npm install -g https://tls-test.npmjs.com/tls-test-1.0.0.tgz

You should see the following message: Hello! The tls-test package was successfully downloaded and installed. Congratulations! Your package manager appears to support TLS 1.2.

If you don't see the message, don't worry you can try to install the package again, hope it will work out for you

I can solve the issue by the way:

First Step: npm set registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/

Second Step: npm install -g https://tls-test.npmjs.com/tls-test-1.0.0.tgz

You are facing this issue because of your registry is still set to http version and that causing you this error. All You need to do is just Run following command in your terminal.

 npm config set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/

and that is it! now you can run any npm command

After updating your NodeJS and NPM Version run this command in CLI

npm set registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/

  1. Please make sure that you have latest(or somewhat recent) version of node installed on your system

  2. To make sure that your version of npm supports TLS 1.2, you can install a test package from an HTTPS endpoint that already has TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 disabled:

npm install -g https://tls-test.npmjs.com/tls-test-1.0.0.tgz

You should see the following message:

Hello! The tls-test package was successfully downloaded and installed. Congratulations! Your package manager appears to support TLS 1.2.

If you didn't see the above message, try to install some npm package.

If you didn't see the npm notice, you're good to go. If you happened to see again, please run the below command too.

npm set registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/

Source: The npm registry is deprecating TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1

Besides updating your version of node to an active or current LTS you want to ensure your NPM registry is set to an HTTPS endpoint:

registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/
