Hey i run my Node-Red locally on my Laptop. That works well with:  
nodejs -v = v15.10.0 and npm -v = 7.6.0. I did this in March.

Now i want to install Node-Red on a Windows Server 2012 R2.

First i downloaded the newest version from [http://nodejs.org/en/](http://nodejs.org/en/)  
I run the Setup  
The node -v = v16.0.0 and npm -v = 7.10.0

now i want to install node-red so i did:  
**npm config set registry http//registry.npmjs.org/**  
After this i used this code:  
**npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red**

The Error i got is:  
npm ERR! code E503  
npm ERR! 503 Service Unavailable - GET [http://registry.npmjs.org/node-red](http://registry.npmjs.org/node-red)

I don`t know how to solve this problem... any help?

Can you open [http://registry.npmjs.org/node-red](http://registry.npmjs.org/node-red) in your browser directly?

> **npm config set registry http//registry.npmjs.org/**

You shouldn't normally need to do that - npm will default to the public npm registry.

Are you running behind any sort of proxy or firewall?

i can open the like in my browser directly.

How can I see if I am behind a proxy?  
( ```  
npm config get proxy  
npm config get https-proxy

```auto
both return null
```

Likely not the issue here, but has any testing been done with nodejs 16?

Are you able to `npm install` anything other module? For example, create a temporary directory and run `npm install cowsay2`.

@Colin not the issue here. We're currently blocked on testing with Node 16 due to upstream devDependencies not supporting it yet.

I didn't think it was causing the issue with the registry, but even when that is surmounted it would be best to go back to 14 I assume.

Yes, that is the latest node red supported version. [Supported Node versions : Node-RED](https://nodered.org/docs/faq/node-versions)

As I said, that isn't the cause of the registry issue. You said that [http://registry.npmjs.org/node-red](http://registry.npmjs.org/node-red) works ok in a browser, is that running the browser on the Windows Server machine, not on the laptop?
