As i see npm is up and running ( https://status.npmjs.org/ )

May be check your network first. Then try below things

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

If your network is behind proxy, set using below commands

npm config set http-proxy ip:port
npm config set https-proxy ip:port

Thanks

Also, does this occur on the latest stable version of npm as well?

[Subhojit1992]

Still facing issue with latest stable.
Node -v

@Subhojit1992 FWIW, npm@3.10.10 is not the latest stable.

[Subhojit1992]

Hey, man thanks. I have run this code npm install -g npm@latest and after that my npm latest version is 5.3.0. Now everything works as previously.
