  • Apparently `npm` cannot connect to the NPM repository. Have you configured one (in `~/.npmrc`), are you using a proxy server or are you blocking outgoing network connections? – robertklep Apr 23 '15 at 14:30

  • This answer does not provide any explanation why this would offer a solution. Could you please elaborate on why this would work? – Dekker1 Jul 29 '17 at 09:56
