Unable to install TypeScript using NPM

Question

I'm not able to complete the Typescript installation using npm.

As the documentation suggest I run the following command:

npm install -g typescript

or

sudo npm install -g typescript

-

It seems ok until at about 20% of the process it can't proceed and this is the error that gets logged out in the shell.

npm ERR! fetch failed https://registry.npmjs.org/typescript/-/typescript-1.8.5.tgz
npm WARN retry will retry, error on last attempt: Error: fetch failed with status code 504

Going to http://status.npmjs.org/#day all systems seem operational. Probably just a hickup. Try again 🌹
