I'm trying to install Cordova on my Windows 7 PC.
I tried installing NodeJS and executing npm install -g cordova, as suggested in Cordova docs, and it takes forever. So I stopped it and added the -d argument to see what was going on.
The output is as follows:
> npm install -g -d cordova
npm info it worked if it ends with ok
npm info using npm@3.10.8
npm info using node@v6.9.1
npm info attempt registry request try #1 at 15:01:30
npm http request GET https://registry.npmjs.org/cordova
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/cordova
npm info addNameTag [ 'cordova', 'latest' ]
[████..............] / loadRequestedDeps: info addNameTag [ 'cordova', 'latest'
This is the last step, it will stay there forever. I launched it at 8 this morning, at 14 it was still there.
I already saw this question, tried to run cmd as Administrator, it behaves the same.
I already saw this question too, even by doing this the output is the same, except for https being http in the two lines starting with "npm http".
I tried opening https://registry.npmjs.org/cordova, the URL exists and I get a big json output from that URL.
I'm not behind firewalls/proxies and I have a 100Mb connection, so internet connection speed is not an issue.
The PC is an Intel i7 2600k, with 8GB RAM and a Samsung 750 Evo SSD, so neither CPU speed nor Disk read/write speed should be an issue.
Why is this happening? Is there a way I can fix it?
