Getting same error while trying to install 'Grunt' using npm 1.3.5 and nodejs v0.10.15 on Ubuntu 13.04

This is almost always an issue with you not setting up your proxy settings correctly. Try https://www.google.com/search?q=npm+proxy.

[asci]

But what if I have not proxy?

[hjbolide]

Hey @asci ,

Hopefully this will help:

I installed Arch Linux myself, and it doesn't come with wget, I tried to install npm package, but the install always fails. When I get wget installed in my system, it seems working for me correctly.

If you are still experiencing the same error, check it out.

And now i fix this error with two simple steps:

1. Set .npmrc following settings:
   strict-ssl = false
proxy = http://localhost:8765/
https-proxy = http://localhost:8765/

2. Run sudo docker run -d -p 8765:8888 paintedfox/tinyproxy (simplest way to set up proxy)

Big thanks chrismeyersfsu for this workaround (#2866 from here).
I think this can be helpful for some users.

PS. Probably, this is similar, but not exactly this problem. I cant figure it out. Sorry.

[othiym23]

I don't understand what people are hoping to accomplish by adding "+1"s on a closed issue. For future reference:

• setting strict-ssl=false should be only a temporary workaround, because it removes any guarantee that the npm client might have that it's actually talking to the real npm registry, along with making things work with proxies
• npm@2.1.6 and newer have a bundled version of request that works much better with tunneling proxy connections
• this error is almost inevitably a consequence of running either a very old npm / node or having some kind of proxy in between you and the registry.

I'm locking this issue now. For those of you encountering similar issues, please open a new issue with the details about the specific problem you're encountering.
