Error following angularjs2 Quickstart Guide error 404 'angular' is not in the npm registry

Question

I recently cloned the official AngularJS Quickstart code and ran npm install. I received a 404. error 404 'angular' is not in the npm registry. Here is my npm debug log:

Here is the package.json file:

Can someone tell what is wrong...which npm package to use and what code changes will i have to do in the offiial angular heroes tutorial. Thanks

It looks like it doesn't know what registry to point to since the package names look correct.

First try a cache clean.

npm cache clean 

And if that doesn't work, specify the registry directly:

npm install <packagename> --registry http://registry.npmjs.org/
