Dear Experts and iwona.hahn manjunath_ks

I am trying to develop a CAP application by following the above tutorial. I have already completed the prerequisite for the tutorial. I have installed SQLite as well.

In Step 1 - Create and initialize the project, when I am performing instruction 7 - npm install in VS Code, I am getting below error.

Also I am attaching the detailed NPM error log for your reference.

Could you please help me fixing the error.

Thanks,

Mainak

Related to the answer from Christian, have you configured your command line terminal for your corporate proxy? This will be different based on your infrastructure setup for example, setting environment variables in your path like HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY.

The issue seems to be the unable to get local issuer certificate error, for which there can be many causes (like a corporate proxy being in the way). I suggest to check out e.g. the Stack Overflow post on this.

Hello Christian,

Thanks so much, I could able to solve the problem for temporarily executing the below command in VS Code terminal.

export NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0

Thanks,
