Npm "network error getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND"

Question

I am trying to install different modules through npm.

c:\>npm install -g express 

But I get the following error message:

I tried the following solutions:

 npm config set proxy http://usr: pwd@proxyname :port npm config set https-proxy http://usr: pwd@proxyname :port npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/ 

I turned off the firewall and tried ... nothing works ... There is no proxy setting, so this should work (and works on other computers) ... I installed node.js without any problems.

Thanx.

Update: here is the Windows host file:

 # # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host # localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself. # 127.0.0.1 localhost # ::1 localhost 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 localhost 

I also tried this solution found in another post:

 npm install <packagename> --registry http://registry.npmjs.org/ 

Does not work: (

Answer 1

I did not find a solution for this, but in the end I had to reinstall my Windows. He is working now...

Answer 2

In my case, the problem was installing the https proxy, but could not find a way to do this. Finally, I tried the following on the command line,

 npm config edit 

He opened a .npmrc file with a list of default options with half-column comments. It was just necessary to remove the colon before the https proxy and enter the one that was provided to me from my company, click save in the editor, and everything worked.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Remove all proxies that are installed in your npm configuration file.

At the command prompt, enter npm config edit

This will open your .npmrc configuration file in your text editor.

In this file, go to the proxy server settings and, if there are any entered settings that you did not configure yourself (for example, http://proxyurl/:port ), delete these settings, save the file and go from there., This should solve this problem most of the time.
