Answer 1

If you are getting the below message:

npm ERR! network 'proxy' config is set properly. See: 'npm help config'

you need to set proxy

$ npm config set proxy http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:XXXX

and

$ npm config set https-proxy http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:XXXX

give your proxy ip address and port number(4digits)

if you dont want to use proxy remove it using below command

$ npm config rm proxy   
$ npm config rm https-proxy

To check the current proxy

$ npm config get proxy

Answer 2

Remove the proxies by running the following commands.

npm config rm proxy

npm config rm https-proxy

It should work now.
