Hello - @fireflysemantics

Are you installing Amplify for the first time? Could you tell us more about your local environment ? To be safe, can you try installing in a clean directory?

[fireflysemantics]

Hi @mauerbac. I install it all the time, but this is the first time in this project.

Here's an example sequence that I just did.

ole@mkt:~/Temp$ mkdir t
ole@mkt:~/Temp$ cd t
ole@mkt:~/Temp/t$ npm init -y
Wrote to /home/ole/Temp/t/package.json:

{
  "name": "t",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "keywords": [],
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC"
}


ole@mkt:~/Temp/t$ npm i aws-amplify

So other NPM dependencies (Stripe in this case) install fine, but with Amplify I get the error you see.

@fireflysemantics I just tried the same steps you mentioned and didn't get the error. Can you check if you are behind any proxy that might be intercepting the npm responses?

@Amplifiyer just to make sure there's nothing else running I rebooted my machine. I still get the same error.

[fireflysemantics]

I set the NPM registry like this:

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

[Amplifiyer]

Can you also post the complete NPM log? and your npm/node version

[fireflysemantics]

Got it - Thanks for all the clues. This is the problem:

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

Should be:

npm config set registry=https://registry.npmjs.com/

I guess the .org only works in ... some cases ... weird. Anyways THANK YOU for helping me trouble shoot!
