npm ERR! network getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND

I am getting npm ERR! network getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND error while trying to install any package using NPM. I know there are numerous threads on the same issue but I could not find any thread which can help me.

I have set the proxy. I think it has something to do with proxy not being set correctly, or not using the correct URL.

npm config set proxy http://proxy.company.com:8080
npm config set https-proxy http://proxy.company.com:8080

Is there any way to check the URL I am using while setting proxy is correct?
Are there any steps I need to take in order rectify this issue?

Solution

  • I was setting proxy as 

    npm config set http_proxy=http://domain:8080

    instead of using the correct way 

    npm config set proxy http://domain:8080
