node.js - npm ERR! network getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND

Question

I am getting npm ERR! network getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND error while trying to install any package using NPM. I know there are numerous threads on the same issue but I could not find any thread which can help me.

I have set the proxy & I think its something to do with proxy not being set correctly ot using the correct url.

npm config set proxy http://proxy.company.com:8080
npm config set https-proxy http://proxy.company.com:8080

Is there any way to check the URL I am using while setting proxy is correct? Are there any steps I need to take in order rectify this issue?

Answer 1

Maybe it's because the proxy do not stand for https. What I do is clear the proxy content of ~/.npmrc, or use

    npm config delete proxy

What's more, nrm is recommended for this problem.
