Help installing, npm install error.

[Legitimate]

When installing following the installation instructions, I get this error:

Then I try again executing this command: "C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.EXE" ls-remote -h -t ssh://[email protected]/DAppDevConsulting/tcr-api.git
Which results in a similar error:
npm ERR! Error while executing: npm ERR! C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.EXE ls-remote -h -t ssh://[email protected]/DAppDevConsulting/tcr-api.git npm ERR! npm ERR! Host key verification failed. npm ERR! fatal: Could not read from remote repository. npm ERR! npm ERR!

This happens because one of the dependencies is using ssh+git rather than a pure https addressing of packages for some reason, but you can just give up on windows because you're going to run into this hellscape anyway if you get through this, and there's no defeating the node-gyp monster.

Btw if you want to get around this particular problem, make sure you have an SSH key in your profile on github and use something like Git Bash to run npm install. That will make sure you're asked to authenticate with your SSH key which will let you pass this step.
