Vue.js project npm install errors-CodePudding

I had multiple errors showing like the following:

npm ERR! code ERR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT
npm ERR! network Socket timeout
npm ERR! network This is a problem related to network connectivity.
npm ERR! network In most cases you are behind a proxy or have bad network settings.
npm ERR! network 
npm ERR! network If you are behind a proxy, please make sure that the
npm ERR! network 'proxy' config is set properly.  See: 'npm help config'

npm WARN old lockfile   syscall: 'open',
npm WARN old lockfile   path: '/home/./PhpstormProjects/vue-paper-dashboard-master/node_modules/postcss/node_modules/supports-color/package.json

I thought it was my internet connection but it turned out not to be like so. I'm newbie to Vue.js so I was a little bit confused but I found my solution!

CodePudding user response：

First I added these two values to ~/.npmrc:

timeout=60000
prefer-offline=true

then I have used the following command with deleting the node_modules folder:

npm  cache clear --force

Then I added .npmignore to the root of my project

After that, I used

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

but when I installed it with npm I checked as root like so :

sudo  npm update

and it worked!
