I installed the Shopify CLI for the first time following the instructions:

Shopify CLI

and then get the following error message:

$ shopify help
╭─ error ╮
│ │
│ read ECONNRESET │
│ │
│ To investigate the issue, examine this stack trace: │
│ at onStreamRead (node:internal/stream_base_commons:218)

When I clear my HTTP proxy, I get the sameerror message.

I am on my work network, so will try later on a non-work env network

Any ideas how to get to the stack trace to figure this out or other suggestions?

It is likely a proxy issue on our corporate network.
