You probably need to contact your admins

@markdalgleish You can use npm config set proxy and npm config set https-proxy to configure the proxy.

@danielduan I think you mean @markpritchett 😄

Thanks @danielduan. npm install actually works fine for me. I can use the Angular CLI without problems (which is doing a similar thing, installing packages). I wonder whether the Angular CLI is respecting the proxy settings and getstorybook isn't?

@danielduan came here for same reasons - using react create-react-app, not angular. also have proxy and have npm config set proxy and npm config set https-proxy set. npm i works fine - but getstorybook times out with the same error as above.
Finally did npm i --save-dev @storybook/react - but I see elsewhere that this is supposedly deprecated?

[danielduan]

Created a ticket, basically we don't use npm or yarn to check for dependencies. Instead, we use a library which doesn't have proxy settings configured.
