npm http GET error, when running cordova from cmd

When I run cordova platform add iOS on my Mac, and I get this error:

npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/cordova-ios/3.8.0

I have tried to set my proxy by trying all of the following, but nothing seems to be working: 

    npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/
npm config set proxy http://myusername:[email protected]:8080
npm config set https-proxy http://myusername:[email protected]:8080
npm config set strict-ssl false
set HTTPS_PROXY=http://myusername:[email protected]:8080
set HTTP_PROXY=http://myusername:[email protected]:8080
export HTTPS_PROXY=http://myusername:[email protected]:8080
export HTTP_PROXY=http://myusername:[email protected]:8080
export http_proxy=http://myusername:[email protected]:8080

npm --proxy http://myusername:[email protected]:8080 \
--without-ssl --insecure -g install

I'm running: nom version 2.5.1, Sencha touch 2.4.1, Sencha cmd 5.1.2.52.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Please help. Thank you.

Solution

  • Fixed.

    I had to downgrade node.js to 10.25 in order for it to work. Never set a proxy once I got the new version installed. (I had 12.0, but also heard that 11.x doesn't work as well.)
