Cannot Install Local Packages with NPM

Question

I am using an LXD container to build an angular application. I cannot install any local npm packages inside of my app directories. I've configured my proxy (ip of my container) and registry settings:

npm config set proxy http://10.57.66.100:8080
npm config set https-proxy http://10.57.66.100:8080
npm config set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/

My .npmrc shows:

proxy=http://10.57.66.100:8080/
https-proxy=http://10.57.66.100:8080/
registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/

Yet I cannot install any local packages. For example, I tried installing 'Angular Material':

$ cd myapp
$ npm install --save @angular/material

I get the following error:

I cannot make any sense out of the log file referenced in the error above.

sudo vim /home/ubuntu/.npm/_logs/2017-06-14T23_40_23_770Z-debug.log

Any thoughts?

Npm doesnt use proxy, its the terminal that uses it (for example git). So set proxy variables for terminal, it should work. — Jaskaranbir Singh, Jun 15 '17 at 00:11
Hi Jaskaranbir. Thanks for the reply. As far as I know, since I'm using an LXD container, I need to set the proxy settings to the ip address of my container. I am not totally clear on what you mean by "set proxy variables for terminal". Thanks. — , Jun 15 '17 at 00:24
