ExB SDK Setup Causing different Errors

[TedCronin]

So, I have started the process to configure the SDK, and I am seeing some errors.

So, this makes me think there may be a Firewall issue, however if I run...

npm config set strict-ssl false

I get further, but I still am seeing errors

npm ERR! code ERR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT
npm ERR! network Socket timeout
npm ERR! network This is a problem related to network connectivity.
npm ERR! network In most cases you are behind a proxy or have bad network settings.

Any Ideas?  I am trying this on a Virtual Desktop on vxRails.  I see no issues off network on my laptop, so definitely a internal IT issue.

I have not seen this error myself. Does the virtual machine have issues connecting with anything else? Can you try downloading the node cache and do an offline installation?

Also: if you think it would be a nice feature, please upvote my idea: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-experience-builder-ideas/docker-images-for-experience-builder-d...

Right now I am trying to get my Network Admin to add the  https://registry.npmjs.org to the firewall.  I looked at doing the offline install but chose not to go that way as I will be needing to install ExB on 15 other machines for other City Users and don't want to deal with extra headache as this is pretty basic to do off our network.  One thing I could try is copy from my laptop and see if the node_modules will work as a copy to another onsite machine or if they have to be updated per machine.
