Problems installing the expo-cli

Question

I've been trying for the past few hours to install the expo-cli. Half way through installation I keep getting this error:

tarball data for @expo/[email protected] (sha512-XXX) seems to be corrupted. Trying one more time.

After a really long time it crashes without expo-cli being installed.

I thought it could be a problem with Node.js. So I reinstalled Node.js and deleted every npm folder I could find. Furthermore cleared the cache with:

npm cache clear --force

Nothing works... Anybody has an idea why I keep getting this error?

Answer 1

Looks like a common windows issue. Have you tried version 3.7.1?

npm i -g [email protected]

Otherwise try to install the linux subsystem and use the linux bash.
