Description
Most of the time whenever I run npm install, the installation runs fine till it starts fetching this package. Afterwards, npm doesn't show any pending progress/installation and gets stuck.
Sometimes, It works when I force clean the cache and re-run installation. But it's like 1/10 times.
For reference I've attached screenshot.

Research direction
The report only identifies npm install hanging while fetching node-pre-gyp in a React Native project; it names no repository file or test. Start by reproducing the install and compare runs with and without a forced cache clean. Done would require identifying a consistent cause and verifying that installation completes reliably.
