Whenever I want to install a module with NPM, it hangs at that stage:
npm install express npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/express And that's it. It has that behavior for anything I input instead of express. I installed nodejs and nvm that way (Ubuntu 13.10):
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install nodejs I tried looking on the Internet and GitHub and I found a closed issue about npm hanging forever when trying to install a module.. but it was a really old issue. Before I ask the developers, am I missing something obvious ?
I tried compiling both nodejs and npm but the result was the same.
EDIT: npm install express -verbose -> http://pastebin.com/tGY3V6Ly Error:
npm info retry will retry, error on last attempt: Error: tunneling socket could not be established, cause=140072708810560:error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol:../deps/openssl/openssl/ssl/s23_clnt.c:766:

To solve the issue, try removing the entire node_modules/ folder and the package-lock. json file. Then try running the npm install command again. That may fix the issue.
If your npm is broken: On Mac or Linux, reinstall npm. Windows: If you're on Windows and you have a broken installation, the easiest thing to do is to reinstall node from the official installer (see this note about installing the latest stable version).
The -f or --force argument will force npm to fetch remote resources even if a local copy exists on disk. The -g or --global argument will cause npm to install the package globally rather than locally.
NPM has been having server issues of late. Try running the command with -verbose to check and see what is going on, and be patient.

I had this issue on a BeagleBone Black (low power ARM device) and running npm cache clean seemed to get things moving again.
