Hello
I tried to run this command on linux on compute engine in order to install a package. Tried with different node and npm versions
`npm install @wordpress/scripts --save-dev`
but it gets stuck at `fetchMetadata:` and become very slow and eventually just hangs .
I have tried different config settings as per my research
I have tried these below settings
npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/ --global
npm cache clear --force
npm set maxsockets 3
npm config set strict-ssl true
Also I have tried downgrading to npm 6 and tried fresh install for nvm, npm and node and then tried to run
npm install @wordpress/scripts --save-dev
But none of the above settings / solution worked . Running the above npm install command is very slow and doesn't not complete installation . It get stuck at different points in different tries .
On local the same command works and package is installed in less than a minute.
Is it a networking issue / memory issue or something else going on? I have been having this issue for last 5-6 days . Can someone please help in this regard?
