Facing connection reset error on updating ionic in ubuntu

ionic-v1

I am facing strange ECONNRESET error on updating ionic on my ubuntu.

FYI - I am not behind any proxy.

Error -

root@swapnesh:/home/swapnesh# npm install -g cordova ionic

Things I did to resolve from various stack posts and github, with no luck.

  • Changed registry from https to http .
  • Instead of running npm install -g ionic I also tried npm install -g cordova ionic
  • My npm and node are not fom monolithic age. Node - 4.0.0 and npm - 2.14.2
  • Tried sudo rm -rf ~/.npm and then npm install but no luck.

Let me know what else I am missing.
