NPM won't install dependencies via Git Bash

Question

I'm trying to install a new dependency on NPM called Nodemon, every time I try to GitBash doesn't respond. package.json reads this;

 "name": "server",
 "version": "1.0.0",
 "main": "index.js",
 "scripts": {
   "start": "node index.js"
 },
 "keywords": [],
 "author": "",
 "license": "ISC",
 "dependencies": {
   "express": "^4.17.1",
   "morgan": "^1.10.0"
 },
 "devDependencies": {},
 "description": ""
}

Here's what GitBash shows.

Cover the bases:

Check if you have node and npm installed nodejs.org $ node -v $ npm -v
Make sure your bash is in the correct directory $ pwd $ ls
Install locally nodemon npm install nodemon
Install Globally npm install -g nodemon

I have done steps 1, and 2. Steps 3 and 4 is where it won't install ANY dependancies. – Devon Plackard Aug 12 '20 at 18:39
If you are on a windows machine perhaps your environment variables did not update? https://stackoverflow.com/a/27864253/4718533 – MathHype Aug 12 '20 at 18:58
I am on a windows machine, and I tried updating the PATH in my Environment Variables. Still no luck unfortunately. – Devon Plackard Aug 12 '20 at 19:06

Resetting my router and restarting the router seemed to fix it as well as installing packages from scratch. It looks like when I was installing the dependency originally, I closed GitBash prematurely and it caused a heap of problems, including this one.
