Description
I have experienced this in other npm packages that require('request'). I see you are looking for proxy env variables, however it is important to also to allow for requestOpts.strictSSL = false and possible requestOpts.tunnel = false though I have not done enough testing to say if the latter makes any difference .
I am re-running an install attempt now, will update if setting this fixes the issue I am experiencing.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the install attempt on Windows behind a proxy and inspect the existing handling of proxy environment variables and requestOpts.strictSSL/requestOpts.tunnel. The issue has no named files or tests, so completion would require confirming the failure, agreeing on the intended option behavior, and demonstrating a working proxied install.
