Error when trying to install anything using npm

Question

I'm learning node.js with learnyounode tutorial. Several times it has asked me to install something like bl,through2-map, etc. Every time I type: npm install through2-map --save

It will run for a few minutes then throw this error

I tried to follow this stackoverflow suggestion npm install not work but that did not work. So can someone help me solve how to set my npm so that I can install these modules. Thanks.

Do you know if you need to be using a proxy server or not? This question and its answers show how you can set or remove the proxy setting. If you don't know whether or not you need to use a proxy server, you probably don't... and should remove the value and go back to trouble shooting the original problem you had. — Sunil D.

Ok thank you for the link I was able to remove the proxy, I definitely did not know so removing it was a good choice, when I check it now says null for that. But back to npm install through2-map I now get the error above. — Rawle Juglal

Your NPM registry is not set to https://registry.npmjs.org anymore:

npm set registry https://registry.npmjs.org
