npm install error - unable to get local issuer certificate

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36494336/npm-install-error-unable-to-get-local-issuer-certificate

npm config set strict-ssl false

THIS MUST BE RUN FROM INSIDE THE ASSETS DIRECTORY

One step forward

Typings can be configured with the ~ / .typingsrc config file. (~ means your home directory)

After finding this issue on github: typings/typings#120, I was able to hack around this issue by creating ~/.typingsrc and setting this configuration:

{
"proxy": "http://:",
"rejectUnauthorized": false
}

After creating that file, the unable to get local issuer certificate error dissapears.

sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/lib/node_modules

Can't find usr directory

cd /usr/local

Works.

Nodejs 4 introduces UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY error for users behind company firewalls

nodejs/node#3742

TRY ANOTHER TIME:

@bnoordhius, yes, starting in v4.x my understanding is that we'll need to configure the cafile to include our company certificate chain. I've done that using npm like this:

npm config set cafile="C:\mycacert.pem"
mycacert.pem is a file containing multiple PEM formated X509 certificates in this form:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIEczCCA1ugAwIBAgIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQQFAD..AkGA1UEBhMCR0Ix
EzARBgNVBAgTClNvbWUtU3RhdGUxFDASBgNVBAoTC0..0EgTHRkMTcwNQYD
etc...
It8una2gY4l2O//on88r5IWJlm1L0oA8e4fR2yrBHX..adsGeFKkyNrwGi/
7vQMfXdGsRrXNGRGnX+vWDZ3/zWI0joDtCkNnqEpVn..HoX
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
I also tried setting an array of CAs following the documentation here: https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/config.

With the log level turned up to silly level.

Find . -name "cacert.pem"

npm config set cafile=/Path/to/your/file.pem

Path to file is in the python directory?

DIDN'T WORK. Reset config path to file in python directory so be careful in future.

Some ideas to try tomorrow.
