@adennen Thanks for reporting.

This may be something specific to the oraclize package. I just ran truffle install zeppelin and was successful. With oraclize I'm getting a slightly different error FWIW:

truffle install oraclize-api

EthPM is in the middle of a major rewrite, sorry. As a workaround you could clone Oraclize's contracts from github here.

Just leaving this as a note while we investigate, but it seems to be Node version compatibility issue:

• Node 8 (works)
• Node 9 (works)
• Node 10 (broken)

@bhemeswararaoa Your error is different - it's caused by being behind a firewall which limits your access to Github. That problem is being tracked at #766 where there's a link that will let you download the template from browser to desktop.

@bhemeswararaoa This is a just a development tool. There is a large community of engineers developing secure crowdsale contracts (among other things) at openzeppelin-solidity you might want to check out.

Also well worth a visit is the documentation at consensys/best-practices on solidity smart contract design.

This should be fixed in 4.1.12. Please ping if you still see this.
