# Mobb CLI - Install blocked by npm registry

Running the [Mobb CLI](/mobb-user-docs/getting-started/mobb-cli.md) inside a locked-down enterprise network where direct access to the public npm registry is blocked.

**Symptoms**

* `npx mobbdev@latest ...` fails to download the package.
* Your organization blocks installing packages directly from the public npm registry.

**Likely cause**

The CLI is distributed on the public npm registry. In many enterprises, npm is configured to pull only from an **internal mirror/registry** (for example, an internal Nexus or Artifactory proxy), so the public download is blocked.

**Resolution**

1. Point npm at your organization's internal registry, typically by adding a line to your `.npmrc` file:

   ```
   registry=https://<your-internal-npm-registry>/repository/npm-registry/
   ```
2. Make sure the Mobb CLI package has been mirrored/allowed in that internal registry (ask the team that manages it if you're unsure).
3. Re-run the CLI command.
