I have changed the registry config for times, but it still doesn't work. Anyone can help? TAT

Solution

  • When npm install is stuck, you can increase verbosity of the output from install.

    npm config set loglevel verbose
npm install -g node-inspector

    Setting the log level to verbose will output a LOT of information. Based on the output you can find out where the errors/warnings are occurring and resolve them.

    If git protocol is somehow involved and git's port is being blocked (TCP 9418), you could use https by doing 

    git config --global url.https://github.com/.insteadOf git://github.com/
npm install -g node-inspector

    As you mentioned, you could use cnpm. Feel free to write your own answer and accept that one since that solved your problem.
