same issue

npm 3 is unsupported, and is using ssl versions that are not supported by the npm registry anymore.

[ljharb]

Only node 0.8 and below use ssl versions that the registry doesn’t; npm 3 and node 0.10, and later, can connect fine. npm 3 is indeed long unsupported, though :-)

I have tested same on HP 10 gen laptop Windows 10 and everything works fine Node installation and npm install for all packages. The issue arised on many HP 11th gen laptop Windows 10 i tested.

hi

have you tried to use http instead of https ?

npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/

Hi guys,
I am having exactly the same problem as mentioned at the top by Noobletbilal.
I'm using Node v7.10.1 and npm 4.2.0.
I get the error when I try to install any package, either globally or locally.
I have tried setting strict-ssl to false and using the http and https registry URLS.
My machine is a brand new Windows 10 box.

If I go up to using Node 8.0.0, npm works fine.

Please can someone make some suggestions to get me past this? Unfortunately my app requires this version of Node!
Thanks very much.
Paul

@pdqsoftware both of those are wildly out of date. The oldest node that is supported is node 12 (and in a few weeks, it’ll be 14) and only npm 8 latest is supported.

Thanks @ljharb. Don't I know it! Sadly it is a company project that was going long before my time. I've talked about getting a newer version of Node in place, but it will be very time consuming to do. I'm also not sure how I would even start with such an old application. If you can please give me any ideas on how to do that I will certainly give it a go...

[ljharb]

@pdqsoftware start on node 8, update all your deps to the latest non-breaking versions; test and deploy. update to node 10, update deps, test and deploy. and repeat, going up to 12, and then 14, and ideally then 16.

Hi @pdqsoftware! I've similar situation on our legacy projects with the same issue (node v6.10.3 / npm v3.10.10).
Thank you @ljharb for describing the way how gradually move on to highest versions.
@pdqsoftware have you tried @ljharb's conception? If yes, how was it? Thanks!

[pdqsoftware]

Hi Jordan, That makes sense. Let me set up a new system and make a start with Node 8.0.0. Maybe, if I really get stuck, you wouldn't mind helping me again? I promise not to bug you every five minutes. Thanks. Paul
