problem with npm install

[dlaub123]

I have no problem cloning the repo, but when I run npm install, I get this error:

C:\Users\laubd\angular-phonecat>npm install
npm WARN package.json karma-chrome-launcher@0.1.7 No README data

I'm 99% convinced this is a firewall issue where I work - because the install works fine for me at home...I think it boils down to git:// vs. http://

@dlaub123 this is what I was trying to tell you yesterday....

I have this problem too. As like decribed in #163, running the command git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git:// works for me.

[dlaub123]

Thanks - this is Really very helpful! The root cause still being work
environments firewall out too much useful stuff

@xie-qianyue worked beautifully.

thanx @xie-qianyue . your solutions worked for me on windows 7 64 bit running npm

[rubinchyk]

It's working for me also. I checked on 4 hosts.

@xie-qianyue THANK YOU 👍

[xie-qianyue]

@dlaub123 It's the firewall blocking git protocol, and the configuration git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git:// works for manay people. Maybe this issue should be closed now?

[dudedev]

Thanks ! It worked for me too.

[buddalasunil999]

Thanks git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git:// worked for me

[fidelisfelipe]
