Node

Run these commands one by one in command prompt. Make sure Node is Installed and added to path.

1. npm config set proxy http://edcguest:edcguest@172.31.102.29:3128
2. npm config set https-proxy http://edcguest:edcguest@172.31.102.29:3128

More help here.

To remove proxy configuration from node, run the following commands

1. npm config rm proxy
2. npm config rm https-proxy
3. npm config --global rm proxy
4. npm config --global rm https-proxy

Pip - Python

Installing python packages also need to have proxy setup. You can install packages behind proxy via the following hack.

pip install --proxy http://<usr_name>:<password>@<proxyserver_name>:<port#> <pkg_name>

Eg.

pip install --proxy http://edcguest:edcguest@172.31.102.29:3128 djangorestframework

Do we need to include this long text each time?
It is recommended, as you might need to sometimes install package normally.

To install requirements.txt, write the following

pip install --proxy http://<usr_name>@<proxyserver_name>:<port#> -r requirements.txt

Eg.

pip install --proxy http://edcguest:edcguest@172.31.102.29:3128 -r requirements.txt
