在E404中安装有作用域的软件包

Question

So I came across this problem when I am trying to install the request-promise module via npm.

It depends on a scoped package named @request/promise-core, and when I try to launch npm install request-promise from my project directory it returns me an error 404. This apparently it is a known issue, see: https://github.com/request/request-promise/issues/137 , but none of the solutions works for me, probably due to a wrong implementation on my side.

What I tried so far:

• configured npm config set "@request:registry" https://registry.npmjs.org/ , but did not worked. Still returning E404
• tried to manually install the package via github with npm install https://github.com/request/request-promise but no joy since it returns error: ENOEN when trying to open the request-promise-unpack/package.json file.

Probably I am missing some basic steps when trying to install the module, but I cannot figure out a different way of installing that module.

Any suggestions or alternatives is very appreciated.

I fixed with

npm install -g npm

in the terminal and then I could install it:

npm install --save request-promise
