Stuck at npm install at fechMetadata checking installable status

npm install -g @angular/cli --verbose

After running this command I realized npm was having problems with the connection with registry.npmjs.org

To solve this:

1. npm config set registry "http://registry.npmjs.org"
2. npm set maxsockets 3

In my case I had to wait for a few minutes and npm finally installed by package.Also I suggest to use --verbose flag to see what's actually is going.

To anyone still experiencing this, I spent days searching for a solution, it ended up being easier and more effective to just remove all traces of nvm (and its node) from my machine and reinstall. Everything started working smooth again after the reinstall

I did:

brew uninstall nvmrm -rf $NVM_DIR ~/.nvm ~/.npm ~/.bower# remove nvm entries from my .bash_profile|.bashrc then# installed nvm from nvm's install scriptcurl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.37.0/install.sh | bash# add to bash_profilecat << EOF >> ~/.bash_profileexport NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"  # This loads nvm bash_completionEOFsource ~/.bash_profilenvm install --lts
