Since my internet connection is slow, i couldn't install packages from npm because of the fact that the npm returns with error as
npm ERR! Response timeout while trying to fetch https://registry.npmjs.org/create-react-app (over 30000ms)
i hoped if i increase the waiting time to one minute or more the error will likely be fixed. And since i am on ubuntu 18.04 i couldn't figure out a way to do this.
I don't know how similar to your problem. But I had trouble executing the following command after executing npm install -g npm-check-updates:
ncu -u
I just kept increasing the timeout after the command until it was fully executed.
ncu -u --timeout 100000
Update npm configuration using:
npm config set fetch-retry-maxtimeout 60000 -g
See the documentation and the available options.
This answer is a bit late, but it's useful for future readers.
--fetch-timeout option.When you run npm install add --fetch-timeout:
npm install --fetch-timeout=60000
There is also a .npmrc configuration setting called fetch-timeout. You can add the following to ~/.npmrc.
fetch-timeout=60000
or run the following
npm config set fetch-timeout 60000
Work with none of these solutions for windows. Then, I have added --timeout as a param to execute.
Ex:
npx npm-check-updates --timeout 200000
