Truffle init failing

I'm trying to run truffle in a linux virtual machine with a windows 10 host. When I run truffle init this is the error that I get...

DownloadingError: write EPROTO 140718189083520:error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol:s23_clnt.c:827:

at _errnoException (util.js:1022:11)
at WriteWrap.afterWrite (net.js:880:14)

I'm not really sure what's causing the error or how to solve it. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • This seems to be an issue with proxies.

    I suggest you update your node environment to at least v10.16.0.
