Typically this is a network issue. Your computer can't see the internet. Eg DNS not working or bad proxy settings

Also don't run `npm install` from the home folder, run it from the `.node-red` folder. This is not the cause of the network problem though.

Try from the terminal as you did before, but from the .node-red folder. It may be that it is confused by the earlier failure so remove it first then install it again.

```auto
npm remove node-red-node-sqlite
npm install node-red-node-sqlite

```

Then if no errors restart node-red. If errors during the install post it here.
