Set nvm proxy
1. On linux system nvm uses curl to download files if it exists, or wget. So we can configure proxy for them.
e.g. for curl, create a .curlrc file in home directory and input:
proxy = <host>:<port>
2. On Windows, even within cygwin, just export evironment variables as:
HTTP_PROXY="http://<hostip>:<port>"
HTTPS_PROXY="http://<hostip>:<port>" #This is most important
3. another method for Windows ( not tested )
run following command with administrator.
nvm proxy [URL]
