It looks like git/npm is hosed on your machine, can you try reinstalling those or fixing them and try again?

[Rhaniel]

I tried this, but it did not work. I'm using proxy, can that be it?

[peterswimm]

Most likely! You'd need to make sure the proxy allows access to all the services mentioned in the error above, or use a starter kit to run it on gomix or heroku.

I am having the same problem. Just in case it helps to fix the issue, it is trying to connect to 192.30.253.113 and 192.30.253.112, which returns a non valid certificate issue when accessing via a browser.

[peterswimm]

Both those errors indicate its failing on your private network. You should work with your proxy admin to allow access to Github and NPM.

[frangarcia]

I do think I have fully access to github and npm. It is the first time I have this kind of problems.

[peterswimm]

You can also skip the NPM install and download a zip directly from the Github if your network is blocking NPM.

[Rhaniel]

I tried this, downloaded the file directly from Github and executed npm install, but it still does not work

[peterswimm]

Getting beyond the scope of this project, but you might need to check out:
https://github.com/arei/npmbox

[peterswimm]

But I think if you are in restrictively proxied environment, you are going to keep running into connection issues all the way down. I would resolve those issues instead of trying workarounds.

[ddemented]

I ran into the same exact error when installing:
npm install --save botkit
PS: It may be due to proxy but other packages seem to install fine with npm install, so not sure where the problem is.

[Rhaniel]

The same thing happens to me when I execute:
Npm install botkit-middleware-watson --save
It works normally, the error only occurs with:
Npm install --save botkit

[peterswimm]

Are you able to clone other github projects on your machine, per your logs it seems like your proxy is blocking git commands.

[ddemented]

i guess it is a problem with proxy, i used a vpn connection and i could run the command fine..

[Rhaniel]

I solved the problem while running: npm config set proxy http://user:pass@domain:port
