I'm having a tough time with npm on my Node.js setup. When I try to install packages, the terminal just keeps spinning without showing any output. It's super frustrating!
Here's what I'm working with:
- Node.js version: 22.15.0
- npm version: 10.9.2
I've been trying to set up the Shopify CLI tool, but no luck so far. I've looked all over for answers and even asked AI for help, but nothing seems to work.
Has anyone else run into this problem? Any tips or tricks to get npm working again? I'm totally stuck and could really use some advice from the community. Thanks in advance for any help!
Hmm, that’s a tricky one. Have you tried clearing your npm cache? Sometimes that can resolve mysterious installation issues. Run ‘npm cache clean --force’ and then attempt the installation again.
Also, check your network connection—slow or unstable internet can cause npm to hang. If those don’t work, consider uninstalling and reinstalling Node.js and npm, and verify that you’re using compatible versions. The Node.js version you mentioned (22.15.0) isn’t recognized—the latest LTS is 18.x. Lastly, try temporarily disabling your antivirus or firewall to see if they’re interfering with the process.
I’ve been in your shoes before, and it’s definitely frustrating. One thing that worked for me was switching to a different npm registry. Sometimes the default registry can be slow or unresponsive.
Try running ‘npm config set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/’ in your terminal. This sets npm to use the official registry directly. After that, clear your npm cache with ‘npm cache clean --force’ and give your installation another shot.
Also, double-check your Node.js version. 22.15.0 isn’t a valid version number - you might want to downgrade to the latest LTS version (18.x) for better stability and compatibility.
If all else fails, consider using yarn instead of npm. It’s an alternative package manager that can sometimes resolve issues npm struggles with. Good luck!
hey there! ive had simlar issues before. try running npm with the --verbose flag to see whats goin on. like ‘npm install --verbose’. it’ll show you more details bout the installation process. also, check ur internet connection and firewall settings. they can sometimes mess things up. good luck!
