the instructions are not clear

3. NPM couldn't install any packages

Issue

A common issue that students located in China would encounter: https://registry.npmjs.org/ is blocked by the GFW — even if they turn on the VPN, npm install wouldn’t install through the VPN and they will get npm install Error: rollbackFailedOptional.

Solution

Use a mirror site of npmjs hosted in China. For example, run npm config set registry http://registry.npm.taobao.org
