Sample Comments
npm seems to be down. Maybe related?
Bold of you to assume it's npm that's being spoken of :D
What issues were npm giving you?
Giving up sadly appears to be the only option for most use cases of npm and the like.
npm is certainly not something everyone has.
It's NPM that's the problem, not node.
only if you manage to go past npm install
can you elaborate? How does this help with npm packages
Yeah it's an NPM module sorry man, it's fairly common on my systems, I can't help out much if they don't have it
Npm is aware of this, see https://status.npmjs.org/incidents/41zfb8qpvrdj
