nuxi init with npm is very slow

[devhawk]

Creating a new nuxt app with nuxi using npm as package manager takes almost 6 minutes. Using pnpm takes 8 seconds, yarn 16 seconds, bun 4 seconds. I get that npm is slower than more modern package managers, but 20x slower seems longer than I would have expected

> npx nuxi@latest init arctic-demon

Hi @devhawk , I tried it in my environment and couldn't observe it being that slow.

• Node: v20.5.0
• npm: v9.8.0

Is this problem still occurring?
If it is continuing, it would be a good idea to include environment information such as Node and npm versions.
You may be able to gather opinions from people in the same environment.

Just tried it again, still happening

node: v20.13.1
npm: v10.8.0
os: Debian 12 (via Windows Subsystem for Linux)

I tried installing Node v20.5 + which came with NPM 9.8 and the issue went away. took 23 seconds to install dependencies instead of almost 6 minutes

I also tried node v20.13.1 with npm v10.5.2. This one froze on the reify:@parcel/watcher-wasm step for several minutes (the later version of NPM doesn't appear to log current step to the console like this version does)

@devhawk

Has this problem been resolved once?

This problem is most likely caused by the OS, Node, or npm rather than Nuxt CLI.
Therefore, if it is currently resolved, I think it is okay to close it.

If it happens again, please open it again.

Sorry, @devhawk .

It would be helpful if you could close it when you have time 🙏
