This is a DNS problem. Loads of info [on the WWW](https://www.google.com/search?q=EAI_AGAIN+registry.npmjs.org)  
Is the computer where node-red installed behind a proxy?  
Is node-red running in docker or VM?

Are you certain? I ask because you might "see them" in the palette manager but can you actually install?
