Can't install psc-package using npm

• Which platform do you have this bug in?
  GNU/Linux x86_64
• What is the expected behavior?
  Successful psc-package installation, command tried: npm i -g psc-package
• What is the actual behavior?
  Installation fails with Error: connect ETIMEDOUT 140.82.118.3:443 (some github server)
  at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1054:14)
• What would help fix this issue?
  Using npm proxies during installation.

There are no problems with other packages (i.e. pulp) I suspect the root cause is corporate proxy and some script (install.js ?) trying to make connection without using it (proxy).

This is the installation script https://github.com/justinwoo/npm-psc-package-bin-simple/blob/e0fd9bbd108b93079159dcdd1d60dd562c6959ba/install.js

npm package page: https://www.npmjs.com/package/psc-package

OK, I've managed to install it. My modified install.js, looks like this.

const url = require("url");
const https = require("follow-redirects").https;
const tar = require("tar");
const shell = require("shelljs");
const version = require("./package.json")["psc-package-version"];
const platform = { win32: "win64", darwin: "macos" }[process.platform] || "linux64";

const HttpsProxyAgent = require('https-proxy-agent');
const proxy = process.env.https_proxy;
var agent = new HttpsProxyAgent(proxy);
var options = url.parse('https://github.com/purescript/psc-package/releases/download/${version}/${platform}.tar.gz');
options.agent = agent;


https.get(options,
  res => res.pipe(
      tar.x({"C": 'psc-package', strip: 1}).on("finish", () => {
        if (shell.test("-f", "./psc-package/psc-package")) {
          shell.mv("./psc-package/psc-package", "./psc-package/psc-package.exe")
        }
      })
    )
);

I've followed https://www.npmjs.com/package/https-proxy-agent documentation. Thanks.

Cool, will have to try applying this later.
