strongloop installation stuck at loadDep:sl-blip->network

I am trying to install strongloop in my ubuntu system as the docs suggest by

npm i -g strongloop

Now for almost an hour it's stuck with the line showing

loadDep:sl-blip -> networ

the spinner is spinning but that text doesn't change nor the progressbar shows any movement. is there a way to somehow debug or fix this?

Solution

  • This was likely caused by being behind a restrictive corporate firewall which prevented the optional non-registry dependency on sl-blip. Since this has been removed in the latest release (v6.0.1), this should no longer be a problem.

    disclaimer: I published v6.0.1 specifically to address this issue
