NPM INSTALL randomly hangs

Getting a bit tired trying to install Indico :frowning:

npm install goes through the package.json but would randomly hang…

...

npm http fetch GET 200 http://registry.npmjs.org/object-copy 22ms (from cache)
npm http fetch GET 200 http://registry.npmjs.org/path-root-regex 24ms (from cache)
npm http fetch GET 200 http://registry.npmjs.org/has-values 17ms (from cache)
npm http fetch GET 200 http://registry.npmjs.org/unc-path-regex 24ms (from cache)
npm http fetch GET 200 http://registry.npmjs.org/copy-descriptor 6ms (from cache)
[  ................] / fetchMetadata: sill pacote range manifest for copy-descriptor@^0.1.0 fetched in 7ms

Any ideas?

network issues maybe?

Possibly. I am behind a public and quite unreliable Wifi connection.
Nevertheless, I wouldn’t expect a reputable tool like npm to randomly hang because of underlying network intermittent connectivity issues :frowning:

I tried the following, which seems to have installed the packages successfully:

sudo npm install -g yarn
yarn install

I still get the OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/user/dev/indico/src/indico/web/static/dist/manifest.json' though :frowning:
