Issue with 04 Install A Module

[seppevs]

This exercise does not work for me. I get a 404 when it's attempted to fetch the 'pkg' module from the NPM registry:

For anyone else doing this lesson and wondering ... this is still broken.

For anyone still trying to figure this out, you can see your registry with npm config list, the registry should be set to https://registry.npmjs.org/. You can edit this using npm config set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/ but that didn't work for me, so I edited the config file manually. You can find the path of this config file with npm config list too.

Hmm. The thing is when users run the step 01, it makes .npmrc at the project root.
