Command line utility that retries `npm install` when NPM fails with `npm ERR! cb() never called`

Command line utility that retries npm install when NPM fails with flaky errors:

• npm ERR! cb() never called,
• npm ERR! errno ECONNRESET,
• npm ERR! shasum check failed,
• npm ERR! code EINTEGRITY

This happens sporadically and has been reported many times:

• meteor/meteor#1190
• https://github.com/isaacs/npm/issues/2907
• https://github.com/isaacs/npm/issues/3269
• https://github.com/npm/npm/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=ECONNRESET+
• npm/npm#2701

and still fails.

Installation

npm install -g  npm-install-retry

Usage

From command-line:

npm-install-retry --wait 500 --attempts 10 -- --production

It has two options wait (defaults to 500) and attempts (default to 10). Everything after -- goes directly to npm.
