NPM not able to install bcrypt

I tried serval times to install bcrypt via npm in the workspace console, but instead of installling the package succesfull I get this error message:

npm is guessing that the workspace is using a proxy on Threehouses servers, which I have to register in node. Is this true or is there something else causing this error?

Have you looked at the other questions and answers below the video? It looks like a lot of other people had this problem and there are some solutions.

@Brendan Whiting: Maybe this was a temporary network issue but I am now getting a different error:

This is not associated with the preceding error. I am getting the same error on my mac. On my windows machine everthing works fine.

This error maybe caused by node-pre-gyp. When installing bcryptjs which is pure javascript npm works properly.
