I'm trying to update the npm (node package manager) using the command:
npm install npm@latest -g
but I'm getting the following error in the command prompt:
npm ERR! Windows_NT 6.1.7601 npm ERR! argv "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node.exe" "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\ node_modules\\npm\\bin\\npm-cli.js" "install" "npm@latest" "-g" npm ERR! node v6.9.5 npm ERR! npm v3.10.10 npm ERR! code ECONNREFUSED npm ERR! errno ECONNREFUSED npm ERR! syscall connect npm ERR!

'proxy' config is set properly. See: 'npm help config' does someone know what this really means?
any help would be appreciated.

I think this issue is caused by an unreachable proxy on the local network. Anybody comes across similar issues, make sure that the proxy server software is up and running on the designated proxy server machine on the local network and is listening to the correct port # as configured in the npm configuration.
If you are behind a proxy, please make sure that the npm ERR! 'proxy' config is set properly. See: 'npm help config' npm ERR!
Here it's my success story with incredible persistant Node.js error connect ECONNREFUSED . Day 1. I run this code, and should work fine. Usual errors, maybe 3-4 minutes. I changed host: 'localhost' to host : '127.0.0.1', port: 8080, or maybe 8000, oh yes, 3306 this is.
ECONNREFUSED error means that connection could not be made with the target service (in your case localhost:8080 ). Check your service running on port 8080. To know more about node.js errors, refer this doc.
Try:
npm config set proxy null npm config set https-proxy null npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/ The first two lines will remove proxy's if there any.
Third line will make npm download from the official package registry.
