Can't install Semantic-UI via NPM - npm

I've been trying to install Semantic via NPM for a while now and am having problems. I run npm install semantic-ui and it goes through the setup process. However, it stops at Finished 'install' after 3.61 s and never exits the process. If I manually cancel the process and navigate to the semantic folder and run gulp build I'm told there's no local gulp found. So I run npm install gulp just for fun. It installs and I run gulp build again but all of the gulp dependencies are missing.
Any ideas? It's getting frustrating because I've been tinkering with it for a few hours instead of getting to work on the actual project. Running npm install in the semantic directory or my project directory doesn't work either. Thanks for the help!
EDIT: I tried creating a new Ubuntu VM and installing Semantic the same way I was on my Mac. It worked with no problems leading me to believe it's something to do with my configuration on my Mac.

This is really odd, but after I got to the Finished 'install' step, nothing was happening. Just a solid cursor when the node deps should've been installing. I decided to hit return just to see if anything would happen and that seems to have done it. Hitting return gives me the spinning cursor and the deps install. I can successfully run gulp build after that. Weird.

Installing freeCodecamp locally hangs when I get to the npm ci step

I've been trying to install freeCodeCamp repo locally coz I'm doing the Full-stack curriculum and I am in a remote area where the grid is not reliable.
I've got the repo on my compute already. I've also installed MongoDB and Nodejs and Npm, following instructions and steps posted on Github by the freeCodeCamp Team. When I get to the step where dependencies need to be installed using "npm ci", the progress bar runs untill halfway, then it stops forever (sometimes it freezes the whole system).
I've tried with Git Bash, Powershell, and Powershell ISE with same results. I did uninstall and re-install Nodejs and NPM a couple of times for no avail. The versions are Node v16.17.0 and Npm 8.18.0.
Any HELP will be appreciated.
I'm having similar issues with v16.17.0 and npm v8.18.0. Downgrading to v8.13.0 seemed to fix it for me but I can't find any previously raised issues as to why this may be the case.
To downgrade:
npm i -g npm#8.13.0 && npm install
Seems to occur from v8.14.0 onwards

NPM stuck on idealTree: timing idealTree

Today i decided to start react native cli project. Everything works great since i want to add new lib of course using npm . So i ran npm install ... . And this command always stuck on
Image
idealTree: timing idealTree Completed in 3440ms
And nothing happened. So i tried to ran
npm install --verbose
And again stuck on the same place. Also clear cache npm cache clear --force and nothing happened again. I don'n know how to fix this
I have had npm install freeze on me numerous times, lately. I'm not sure of the cause. When that happens I follow these steps:
Kill the npm install process with ctrl+c.
Delete node_modules. If there are files that you cannot delete because they are currently in use, that may mean that the npm install process was not successfully stopped. Try opening Task Manager and ending all nodejs and terminal processes. If this fails, restart your pc and then delete node_modules
Clean cache and reinstall node_modules with npm cache clean --force && npm i
This has happened to me a few times before and all I had to do was kill my dev server before running npm install.
Hope that helps as well!
I had the same issue on node latest version v18.8.0 and npm v8.18.0, I just downgraded to node 16.6 using nvm and it worked fine.
For me, the issue was that I had node running for a separate project. Terminating the other node process fixed the issue.
When i opened my package.json i saw '~2.2.1' in front of react-native-gesture-handler which probably means that it was notinstalled properly
Just close all terminals and then open task manager and kill all the processes corresponding to NodeJS. Then install it again.
Hopefully it will resolve.
I also faced this problem and the solution was simple by stopping all the "nodejs terminals" that are working outside.
When you stop nodeJS Terminals running in the background, it will complete the current installation process.

When you want to add package on your project it is better to stop server before adding new package.
I had same problem but after doing this it is solved.

Why is preact not getting recognized in the terminal even after installing it?

I have installed Preact but it’s not getting recognized in the terminal. First, I went to the official website of PreactJS. The doc says that I have to run npm install -g preact-cli. As I am using Yarn, I ran yarn global add preact-cli. It was installed successfully but with a lot of warnings. Then I ran preact create default first-preact-app. But it's showing an error that "The term 'Preact' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file or executable program."
I have tried force cleaning the cache and reinstalling preact-cli. But it doesn't work. Two of the warnings are that preact and preact-render-to-string have unmet peer dependency. So, I have installed them also. But it still doesn't work.
I have tried running npm and experimented with the commands also. But it didn't work. So, how can I fix the problem?
I have run these commands using Powershell and Git bash on Windows 10. I am trying to install Preact 10.5.12 using Yarn 1.22.5. And a point to be noted, I tried running yarn dlx but it returns an error that "command not found". And when the installation of preact and preact-render-to-string gets finished, yarn gives and warning that they have no binaries.
EDIT: Perhaps, it was a problem with Windows. The problem has gone after reinstalling it.
Your problem almost certainly is that preact-cli was not on your PATH - a list of programs that are globally accessible.
For what it's worth, we don't recommend installing globally. The site may still say that but the repository correctly recommends using npx instead.

How to stop angular-cli freezing on "loadRequestedDeps: silly install loadAllDepsIntoIdealTree"?

I am running Windows 8.1 with node version 7.7.3 and npm version 4.1.2.
I have been working on an Angular tutorial without issues. At some point since finishing that tutorial I installed Python. I am not sure if it is related, but I have mentioned it just in case.
Today I am trying to create an Angular application and it hung without completing.
I did some research and it tells me to do this:
npm uninstall -g #angluar/cli
npm cache clean
npm install -g #angular/cli
The last command hangs at this point:
loadRequestedDeps: silly install loadAllDepsIntoIdealTree
I opened the command prompt "run as administrator" to run these commands.
Everything I try fails. I have connected to a completely different network to eliminate that as the problem and that didn't fix anything. I have uninstalled and reinstalled node.js and that hasn't fixed the problem either.
I can ping registry.npmjs.org just fine.
What is causing this error?
I finally found the answer! I ran the following command in the command window:
echo %temp%
It had 3 temp paths in there. I removed the two I didn't need and voila, it works!

"Node Commands" printed at prompt when trying to run grunt/ gulp on Windows 7

I've installed nodejs, and have used npm to install grunt using
npm install grunt
When I try to run grunt, I am presented with what appears to be instructions on running node commands: (see image)
the same applies when trying to run gulp
I have done the same steps on other computers, and had no problem running grunt previously
Please suggest ideas as to what's going on.
Thanks
As suggested by Joe Clay, the problem was that there was another app called node.exe whose pathwas in PATH variable before nodejs.
