使用npm安装Angular CLI时进行ECONNRESET

Question

While trying to install Angular CLI on a machine with no proxy set and flawless internet I get a following error:

4727 silly extract micromatch@^3.1.4 extracted to C:\Users\User\AppData

It usually fails on extracting rxjs package. So far I've tried:

• Setting registry to a http:// version, but then it fails earlier, every time on is-number package
• reinstalling and updating npm/node
• clearing the cache after every single operation
• disabling the windows firewall
• starting the command line with administrator rights
• checked that proxy config is null

Nothing seems to be working. Do you have any ideas?

Edit: Maybe this will help, but when I've tried to update npm itself, it would hang itself immediately on rollbackFailedOptional, it managed to update itself only after changing the registry to the http:// version

Downgrade towards a more stable version of node/npm. To install a specific version of npm, eg, 5.6.0 :

npm install -g npm@5.6.0
