npm install freezes and shows idealTree:chatting: sill idealTree buildDeps

Question

npm freezes when I am installing anything. Even after deleting package-lock.json nothing changed. Here is a similar question. Can anyone tell how can I solve this problem??

Answer 1

It could be your having an issue with your certificates. Sometimes if you get this behavior there is an error in the certificate chain.

Try npm set strict-ssl false to see if this resolves your issue. Just remember if you do this you have disabled some of the security ssl gives you.
