Trouble installing Angular 2 quickstart project dependencies

Question

I'm having problems getting started with the Angular 2 Quickstart Project and in particular performing an npm install .

I'm getting a certificate error back:

typings ERR! message Unable to read typings for "es6-shim". You should check the entry paths in "es6-shim.d.ts" are up to date typings ERR! caused by Unable to connect to " https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/6697d6f7dadbf5773cb40ecda35a76027e0783b2/es6-shim/es6-shim.d.ts " typings ERR! caused by unable to get local issuer certificate

I am behind a proxy in a corp environment and have tried to get around this with strict-ssl = false in my npm config, but this has made no difference.

Anyone got any other suggestions?

Thanks

Answer 1

In the command prompt, set proxy.

set HTTP_PROXY=http://your_username:your_password@domain_name:port
set HTTPS_PROXY=http://your_username:your_password@domain_name:port
npm config set proxy=http://your_username:your_password@domain_name:port
npm config set https-proxy=http://your_username:your_password@domain_name:port

This should solve the issue
