npm ERR! code ERR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT: Troubleshooting Network Connectivity Issues

The error message 'npm ERR! code ERR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT' suggests a network connectivity issue while fetching a package from the npm registry. This could be caused by a proxy or incorrect network settings. \n\nTo resolve this, try these steps: \n\n1. Check your internet connection: Ensure a stable internet connection and access to other websites. \n\n2. Verify proxy settings: If behind a proxy, ensure correct configuration. Run npm config list to check proxy settings. Update them if necessary using npm config set proxy. \n\n3. Clear npm cache: Issues with the npm cache can cause network problems. Clear the cache using npm cache clean --force and try installing again. \n\n4. Retry the installation: After the above steps, try npm install.
