On a recent assignment, I needed to install npm behind a corporate proxy. I had already set the environment variables HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY. Other command line utilities, like ruby gems, recognized these environment variables. Npm did not.

After some googling, I found the following way to configure the proxy for npm.

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


If you need to specify credentials, they can be passed in the url using the following syntax.
