which os do you use ? seems that https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29395793/cant-install-anything-with-npm-econnreset-without-proxy no ? do you have a proxy ?

Ubuntu 16.04.4LTS

Like a system proxy? No I shouldn't, I have a minikube installation running on this laptop though.

That did the trick, I was able to install however I got the following security vulnerability error:

npm WARN notice [SECURITY] electron has the following vulnerabilities: 1 critical, 2 high. Go here for more details: https://nodesecurity.io/advisories?search=electron&version=1.6.8 - Run `npm i npm@latest -g` to upgrade your npm version, and then `npm audit` to get more info.
