npm install is taking too long long time

[duzy]

I'm recently installing some tools using NPM, but they're spending me hours and hours waiting. I don't understand what was it running for? How come it's taking me hours and hours to install just some tools. (Network is fine, really)

Probably related: npm/npm#10380

@duzy It is strange that it takes more than a few minutes to install uglifyify, and I doubt it's related to the current npm 3 performance woes. Try:

• Maybe there's something with your environment setup? Try installing it on a project-local level (npm install uglifyify (without the -g))
• Maybe running npm install with more verbose logging will shed more light on the matter? Try npm install --loglevel=info
• Maybe it is a problem related to npm cache? Try cleaning it with npm cache clean
• Maybe upgrading npm would solve your issue? Try npm install -g npm@latest

This should probably be reported on the npm repository.

Closing. Not actionable and unlikely to be a node.js core issue.

What was the reason to close this issue?

[jbergstroem]

@oshingc because there was nothing to act on and although npm might be bundled with nodejs it is not the same project, therefore this bug should not live here.

[oshingc]

You're right. Thanks for the clarification.

npm executes much faster with linux operating system rather than windows. (it's my personal exprerience)
