Is there standalone setup installer for NPM windows?
The purpose is to install NPM without using internet connection

Installing NPM or Node.js requires an Internet connection. Even using cmd to install it, They download the files first in the background from the node.js website. Then, installing it. Or you can download it from the Node.js Official website.
Edit: Yeah there is but you still need to download it online.

Need help installing the VUE plug in for TestCafe

I am new to the product and have minimal coding knowledge. I need to install the testcafe-vue-selectors plugin but the instructions on the github page are lacking detail. The say Install "$ npm install testcafe-vue-selectors" Where do I run this command?
Thanks and sorry for my lack of knowledge.
I assume that you have already installed TestCafe by running a single command in your terminal (command-prompt):
npm install -g testcafe
To install the plug-in, you need to execute a similar command in your terminal (in your project folder):
npm install testcafe-vue-selectors
No additional steps are required. Just ensure that Node.js and npm are installed on your computer.

while installing cypress through command :npm install cypress --save-dev getting error as The Cypress App could not be downloaded

while installing cypress through command :npm install cypress --save-dev getting error as The Cypress App could not be downloaded.
Error :
Finishing Installation
The Cypress App could not be downloaded.
Does your workplace require a proxy to be used to access the Internet? If so, you must configure the HTTP_PROXY environment variable before downloading Cypress. Read more: https://on.cypress.io/proxy-configuration
Otherwise, please check network connectivity and try again:
But please not I m not using any proxy and on my personal wifi.
plz suggest ,what can be done in this case.Thanks
It seems to be too many possible reasons for this issue in general but I managed to find a workaround to install Cypress from within a corporation with npm and without using sudo npm or turning off strict ssl.
The following worked for me per November 18th 2020 with Ubuntu 18.04 and npm 6.14.8:
I downloaded the zip file shown in https://docs.cypress.io/guides/getting-started/installing-cypress.html#Direct-download
I installed cypress as shown in https://docs.cypress.io/guides/getting-started/installing-cypress.html#Install-binary : CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY=~/Downloads/cypress.zip npm install cypress --save-dev
I could now run npx cypress open to start the gui (which will also generate the cypress.json file)
Possible Reasons for this issue:
U might be running the project with a proxy setting.
One of the reason could be you are behind the firewall.that may prohibit your network? Please follow the guidelines in Proxy Configuration if so(https://docs.cypress.io/guides/references/proxy-configuration.html#Set-a-proxy-on-Linux-or-macOS).
make sure you have right access to install the cypress.
if none of the above mentioned reasons try removing the biraries or node_modules and install again.

Verdaccio, npm offline

How do I move Verdaccio from my development machine that has internet into an environment that has no connection? I tried install from a tarball but was still trying to reach out to npm to install? Wish there was an exe installer.
Also when I do npm install -g verdaccio I get a python error node-gyp. Is Python required to use Verdaccio? I don't see that in the documentation
I figured it out. I installed verdaccio with the --no-optional flag and then just copied the files over. I build the storage while online and set cache to true so all the packages copy and all works offline.

Apache Cordova VS Community 2015 - Run Dependency Checker Fails

Apache Cordova Dependency Checker fails in VS Community 2015. It was previously working on this computer until I ran several VS and 3rd party tools updates. Here's what I've done to try to resolve the issue:
Installed VS / Apache Cordova (no error messages displayed) following article https://taco.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/install-vs-tools-apache-cordova/
Run Apache Cordova Dependency Checker but VS freezes with the error message - VS 2015 has stopped working, windows will try to restart the program.
I restarted VS and cleared Cordova cache, checked environment variables (all good), then tried Apache Cordova Dependency Checker with the same freeze result.
I tried to update Apache Cordova with the fix option (no error messages) but received the same freeze results.
I completely uninstalled Apache Cordova, 3rd party tools (following article https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3016536), and VS community and then reinstalled them (no error messages) but received the same freeze results.
I installed Apache Cordova on another computer and the dependency checker phonegap app... worked. Unfortunately that's not a computer that I have access to.
What else can I do to resolve the Apache Cordova installation issue?
Thanks for any help,
Mike
Since my original post, I've had to resolve Visual Studio, Ionic, Cordova, Phonegap, plugin... environment issue several times. I've found the below works best:
Ensure platform matches plugin requirements, see platform in config.xml e.g. 6.1.1
Uninstall, reinstall latest jdk (adobe)
Clear MEF Cache - download the tool and follow instructions
Download/install latest node.js
Run the following from the command line:
Clear cache: Npm cache clean
Install latest npm: npm install -g npm
Uninstall cordova: Npm uninstall -g cordova
Reinstall cordova: Npm install –g cordova (note, this took 5+ tries to complete without errors. No other changes were made between runs. Not sure
why. Found others complaining about the same issue.)
Remove Android platform: Cordova platform remove android
Install Cordova platform add android#6.X.X (Note, as of 4/20/17 cordova and android compatibility issue. Build error - unable to find installed version of gradle. resolved by running (npm install -g cordova#6.4.0) and (cordova platform add android#6.1.2). Addt'l build errors, resolved by updating components in Android SDK Manager)
Uninstall/Reinstall plugins from the command line. For example:
cordova plugin remove phonegap-plugin-push
cordova plugin add phonegap-plugin-push variable SENDER_ID="YourID#"
npm install bower -g
Restart Visual Studio - Verify plugins were installed via config.xml
Install Ionic:
npm uninstall -g ionic
npm install -g ionic (note: to install specific version, npm install -g ionic#2.2.3)
$ ionic platform add ios
$ ionic platform add android (note: redundant, already added above)
I recommend putting as much of this as possible in a batch file with a pause between commands. Verify each command was successful, if not press ctrl+break at the pause to term the batch file early. The batch file is an easy way to restore your environment when everything breaks again. Stuff happens!
I also started using a VM (oracle virtualbox) for my development environment. That way I can backup my environment before making changes and easily restore. Don't forget to upload to GIT on a daily basis. GIT and VMs are my lifesavers.
Cool NPM commands:
npm list (lists all installed packages)
npm prune (removes packages not depended on by your project according to your package.json)
npm outdated (tells you which installed packages are outdated with respect to what is current in the npm registry but allowable by the version definition in your package.json. Make sure all up-to-date)
Please feel free to add/make suggestions to the above list.

Can I use NPM with a Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova project in the IDE?

Creating a web application in VS2015-preview allows the user to utilize NPM within the IDE. I cannot find a way to do this in a "Tools for Apache Cordova" project. I would like to effectively run npm install underscore --save within the IDE.
Currently running npm command from IDE is not supported for Tools for Apache Cordova project. Since Node.js is installed and configured as a part of Tools for Apache Cordova installation, you can use command prompt to run the npm command.
