npm ERR! network getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND proxy proxy:00

I'm trying to install express-generator globally but keep running into this error

error message

I'm using my android phone as a hotspot to connect to the internet and my internet is fine.

I'm not using a proxy to connect to the internet

I recently installed node.js so I believe everything is up to date
