Hey everyone, I’m having a hard time setting up Angular CLI on my machine. When I try to run the npm command to install it, I keep getting an error message. I think it might be related to proxy settings, but I’m not sure how to fix it.
But instead of installing, I get a bunch of error messages. They mention something about ECONNREFUSED and say the operation timed out. I’ve looked online for solutions, but nothing seems to work.
Has anyone else run into this problem? Do you have any ideas on how to troubleshoot it? I’m pretty new to Angular and npm, so any help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I encountered a similar issue when setting up Angular CLI. Have you verified your Node.js and npm versions? Outdated versions can cause installation problems. Try running ‘node -v’ and ‘npm -v’ to check. If they’re outdated, update them first. Also, ensure you have the necessary permissions to install packages globally. On Windows, run the command prompt as administrator. On Mac/Linux, use ‘sudo’ before the npm command. If the problem persists, try using a package manager like Yarn as an alternative to npm. It often handles network issues better.
I’ve been there, mate. These npm issues can be a real headache. One thing that worked for me was changing the npm registry. Try running ‘npm config set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/’ in your terminal. This fixed my connection problems.
Also, check your internet connection. Sometimes a slow or unstable connection can cause timeouts. If you’re on a company network, talk to your IT department. They might need to whitelist some npm URLs.
If all else fails, you could try downloading the Angular CLI package manually and installing it locally. It’s a bit of a faff, but it might get you unstuck.
Hang in there, we’ve all been through these setup nightmares!
hey there! sounds like a pain. have u tried clearing ur npm cache? sometimes that helps. also, check ur firewall settings - they might be blocking the connection. if nothing works, maybe try installing it globally with ‘npm install -g @angular/[email protected]’. good luck!
