Getting NPM 407 error while installing jquery, in VPN

Question

I am trying to install jquery using npm in my project, but it is giving this error : npm ERR! 407 Proxy Authentication Required - GET http://registry.npmjs.org/jquery npm ERR! 407 Proxy Authentication Required - GET http://registry.npmjs.org/jquery . On Googling I found out that we have to set proxy settings using commands such as npm config set proxy http://proxy.company.com:proxyport but I am using a VPN network, and in proxy settings it shows *Some properties are hidden or managed by your organization How do I resolve this problem?

Answer 1

Correct proxy setting:

HOME:File .npmrc

Mac:
/Users/user_name/.npmrc
Window:
C:\Users\user_name\.npmrc

Add proxy with username and password

proxy=http://username:password@proxy_url:8080
http-proxy=http://username:password@proxy_url:8080
https-proxy=http://username:password@proxy_url:8080

Note: If your password contains special char, replace with encoded value. Like @ will be %40
