Running npm install through2-map and getting a ECONNREFUSED error

On Cloud9, I’m running npm install through2-map and getting a ECONNREFUSED error. I’ve tried a number of things based on google searches but no success. The error:

Things I’ve tried:
npm install -g through2-map
sudo npm install through2-map
npm clear cache
I’ve made sure I don’t have node running
ps -ef | grep node

I get an installation when I do sudo npm install -g through2-map but the require statement cannot find it:
witcradg:~/workspace $ learnyounode run program.js
module.js:327
throw err;

I was able to successfully install by creating a new project. “npm install through2-map” just worked.

thanks a lot for reporting it back after you found the solution.
I had a similar issue, it solved the problem for me.

created a new folder,
ran npm init
then npm install through2-map

and surprisingly it solved the problem

Why do we really have a create a new project for this to work? I dont want to create a new project because my current project workspace is a local git repo. Please how can this work without having to create a new project?
