@zalak pathak , Looks like network proxy issue, Can you able to install any other npm package ? like sudo npm install -g nodemon ?

Looks to me like the outbound connection is being blocked by a firewall.

Thanks for your sugggestions. It was in fact firewall issue. After i did proxy settings, it worked for me.
