SSL Error: CERT_UNTRUSTED while using npm command
node.js, ssl
Solution
I think I got the reason for the above error. It is the corporate proxy(virtual private network) provided in order to work in the client network. Without that connection I frequently faced the same problem be it maven build or npm install.
Problem
I am trying to install express framework using npm command but getting following error. error message is ``` E:\myFindings\nodejs_programs\node>npm install -g express npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/express npm ERR!
