Issues with install due to PROXY

[cmpsoares91]

Hello I'm trying to perform npm install but this is giving me a connection error:

C:\path\to\project\electron-quick-start>npm install electron -g

To contextualise we're in a corporate workspace which is under firewall and proxy configurations, thus I've configured our nexus server as the npm registry (it's proxying it and works fine). However, when I try to install the electron dependency it crashes with the error mentioned above.

I have tried some proxy configurations but I don't know why it did not work, I would like to instead try to understand why Electron is trying to reach Github and if it is possible to work around it and work only with the NPM repo?

Best regards, Carlos Soares.

I have just come across this too, using yarn to install rather than npm, but the same error.

$ yarn
yarn install v0.23.4

Please re run the install command with --verbose

You need to configure your proxy to allow connections to github.com

@zeke that's not the most helpful response - I believe most people running into this issue won't have the admin powers required to make changes to the proxy itself. Better to work out what the missing git, npm or node config settings are.

@voltagex sorry for the brevity. @cmpsoares91 without knowing the particulars of your network setup, the best thing I can recommend is to run npm install while connected to a network that can access github.com and npmjs.com.

Hi,

I am also facing same issue in my build environment. Is there any solution for this problem. I have no idea about that build host the only info i know about the host is it is linux. Dont have any admin rights on that host.

Thanks Jk
