npm ERR! request to https://registry.npmjs.org/node-modules failed, reason: error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line

Question

I am getting this error while installing any JS package , I have done lots of search but no luck. So please let me know where i am making mistake.

npm ERR! request to https://registry.npmjs.org/node-modules failed, reason: error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line

WebServer : Apache2(xampp)
Node : v9.3.0
NPM : 5.5.1

Solution

I think that first you need to start prompt as an administrator, then run npm cache clean -f then try to run npm install, by this command the npm will install the packages listed in package.json.

Or

You can run npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/ so you can run npm install -g node-modules. Read more in this answer.

How are you trying to install the packages? Can you post an example about any package that you tried to install?
