I have no idea how to fix this error, I have tried creating a temporary cache I have wiped my entire computer and reset and restarted the entire process from scratch but I keep receiving this same error.
I have turned off my firewall
2.I have turned off all anti virus software
3.I have tried deleting the Roaming data npm folder and tried to reinstall npm, but everything that I try to do nothing will fix this error.
thought maybe because my user for my microsoft is 2 names (First and Last, I then turn my pc into a local machine so it the user would only be "harka"

And have you installed npm previously, can you run for example npm -v ? if not, that means u don't have npm installed at all and you trying to use it to install npm (if I am not mistaken)
Then assuming you are using windows, the best way to install npm to windows is to download node.js from their official website, which installs npm as well.
