NPM does not continue package installation

Question

I’m trying to install a simple package with NPM, but the installation doesn’t start, always stops at the same place.

C:\Users\Gabriel>npm install -g luaparse --verbose
npm info it worked if it ends with ok
npm verb cli [ 'C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node.exe',
npm verb cli   'C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node_modules\\npm\\bin\\npm-cli.js',
npm verb cli   'install',
npm verb cli   '-g',
npm verb cli   'luaparse',
npm verb cli   '--verbose' ]
npm info using [email protected]
npm info using [email protected]
npm verb install initial load of C:\Users\Gabriel\AppData\Roaming\npm\package.json
npm verb readDependencies loading dependencies from C:\Users\Gabriel\AppData\Roaming\npm\package.json
npm verb cache add spec luaparse
npm verb addNamed "*" is a valid semver range for luaparse
npm verb addNameRange registry:https://registry.npmjs.org/luaparse not in flight; fetching
npm verb request uri https://registry.npmjs.org/luaparse
npm verb request no auth needed
npm info attempt registry request try #1 at 16:34:25
npm verb request id 197979e946371ad9
npm http request GET https://registry.npmjs.org/luaparse

I’ve tried other packages, and the same thing happens. Before I tried with version 4.6 and 4.5 of Node.js, but I think the problem is in my computer, if you can give a light, I thank you.

Edit: When I was having this problem, I could not drip on any ip/address, today I managed to drip, and still can not download anything.

Edit: I installed Node.js 6.19, and it has a new line when I try the same command:

[..................] - normalizeTree: http request GET http://registry.npmjs.org/luaparse

That’s where it stops.

Answer 1

• Disable the firewall of if router
• npm set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/

If it doesn’t work, use a mirror pro npm:

npm config set registry http://skimdb.npmjs.com/registry

Then use the original again:

npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org

Edit: another possible solution would be to specify the Registry when installing the package.

First of all, clear npm cache:

npm cache clean

And then try:

npm install luaparse --registry http://registry.npmjs.org/

Edit2: knowing that you are using DMZ, first of all try to disable DMZ (reboot required)

Only if you cannot disable, as the DMZ is encapsulating the DNS, try setting the DNS server to automatic:

netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" dhcp

Take the ip of your machine using ipconfig then seven it as DMZ server (is in NAT/DMZ/Advanced settings, depending on your router)

Answer 2

I recommend you lower the NVM, which is a version control to use more than one version of Node at the same time. Installation instructions are on README of the project.

After intalar install the desired version of Node:

nvm install v4

and after that enable its use:

nvm use v4

Edited:

Try to enable some proxy for npm updates, you can do this as follows for one package only:

npm --proxy http://proxy-server:8080/ install {package-name}

Or you can set the global proxy setting with:

npm config set proxy http://proxy_host:port

Related question: Is there a way to make npm install (the command) to work Behind proxy?

Here you can track a related issue about firewall blocking and bypassing it successfully. And here a question that was migrated from stackoverflow to superuser about similar problems that used the suggested solution.

The only question left is to have a connection to use as a proxy.

This is Gabriel, here are some items for you to check:

1. GIT is installed?
2. Can you clone into some external repository (git clone https://github.com/Bigous/ng2-highcharts.git for example)?
3. Since you have already said that there is no proxy, are the http_proxy and/or https_proxy environment variables empty? (check with set command without parameters)?
4. You have write permission in the directory "C: Users Gabriel Appdata Roaming npm"?

If in all these questions you answer yes, try to clear the npm cache, sometimes it gets corrupted and causes strange problems:

npm cache clean

Answer 4

Since Voce did not use sudo, I suppose it is using npm by windows. If it’s in windows, install git bash and right after the installation right-click git bash -> run as administrator, and run the command again.

Answer 5

I solved this problem deleting from directory . npm from the root of my computer. Maybe it only works on macOS and Linux. In the window I won’t know how to fix it. And after I did that I gave an "npm install" on the project, and it worked!
