Phonegap installation issue via cmd nodejs [windows 7]

Question

Im trying to install phonegap using the cmd "npm install -g phonegap"

but its not installing and giving me installation failed message ive pasted the cmd message below

so how do i set the proxy settings(assuming thats the issue) which nodejs can use to connect to the internet and complete the installation of phonegap

my system config is windows 7 64bit

C:\Windows\system32>npm install -g phonegap

npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/phonegap

what kind of proxy are you behind? have you tried this: npm config set proxy http://server:port npm config set registry "http://registry.npmjs.org/" — NorRen
It seemed to have an issue for me because I was running it from the C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder - worked fine once I changed to a non-system folder. — Philip Murphy

Solved it

Just had to set

npm config set proxy http://usr:pwd@proxyname:port

npm config set https-proxy http://usr:pwd@proxyname:port

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