Dependency Error while installing Web3.js

[alexvcasillas]

Good afternoon,
I'm trying to make an implementation of Web3 to connect to my external Quorum Blockchain but I can't manage to install this library while I'm still getting this error every time I try to execute the following command: npm install --save web3

Sometimes I also have such problem that in random places npm is being stuck. I solved it by switching to yarn :)

[alexvcasillas]

It works with yarn? Really, @balinskia ?

For me it was a firewall issue.
