npm install hangs

I had the same problem. The reason – wrong proxy was configured and because of that npm was unable to download packages.

So your best bet is to the see the output of

$ npm install --verbose

and identify the problem. If you have never configured proxy, then possible causes can be

  • Very outdated npm version.
  • Some problem with your internet connection.
  • Permissions are not sufficient for npm to modify files.
