I started with a simple Ionic application that I cloned from git. After doing so I tried installing npm but it froze at "loadAllDepsIntoIdealTree", so after some searching I found this solution: https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/17228 Basically saying that if I remove package-lock.json it'll work.
Which it did but then froze at: range manifest for copy-descriptor@^0.1.0
And after a bit of searching I found this: npm install hangs
Basically saying that I should use npm install --verbose to see what's going on.
Unfortunately it got stuck at:
fetchMetadata: info lifecycle cordova-plugin-statusbar@2.4.3-dev~postpack: cordova-plugin-statusbar@2.4.3-dev
And I am an amateur in this but I'm trying to learn. Can somebody explain why this is occurring? I checked my internet connection but it's fine, and my npm version is recent. What could this mean and how to solve it?
Details: npm version 6.4.1
