title: npm/grunt: is it possible to install grunt without npm?
body: <p>I am having so much problems with the proxy system of my entertprise</p>
  
  <p>I was changing parameter using npm config set changing the variable proxy and http-proxy.</p>
  
  <p>I installed in my .npmrc next lines</p>
  
  <pre><code>npm config set proxy http://my_user:my_password@10.3.12.130:8080 -g
  npm config set https-proxy http://my_user:my_password@10.3.12.130:8080 -g
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What I have in my mind it is try to install grunt in VS2012 without using npm, maybe like nuget.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible?</p>
  
  <p>I am getting this error page when I am using  <code>npm install -g grunt-cli</code>:</p>
