i am using mac book pro - M1 chip and bigsur
but I have a problem. the speed so slow when i install any library to npm
please click the picture i have counted
the picture, i had install the 'react-native-fast-image' but there consumes more 1000s for installed
likewise, i had typed in terminal, 'npm i or yarn install'
Consumes more than 30 minutes.
for solving this, i have tried deleted xcode, and webstrom, and vsc but, there are no change in speed.
I had this exact same issue. After speaking with Genius Bar we realised I was on an old version 12 of node. Node 15.5 onwards runs natively on M1 so isn't being parsed through Rosetta 2, which was likely causing the lag.
You can check the version of node you're on by running node -v
If you're on anything below 15, if you run nvm install v15 on terminal this might solve your issue by updating your node.
I had an error at this point (you might not) saying:
xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools),
missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun
After sorting that, when running nvm install v15 it solved the lagginess :) good luck!
You might also find even after installing the latest node, your terminal defaults to an old version (mine did to much bemusement!)
You can solve it be setting a default, check this link.
In short, run: nvm use node
This switches to the latest installed version of node.
Today I used for the first time Node/NPM 17 and I got back to these issues of NPM install taking forever.
I switched back to Node/NPM 14 and everything works again just fine.
For those who cannot move their project to node 15 overnight.
Install node by itself by going on nodejs.org reduce drastically npm library installation on mac book pro - M1 Pro Monterey.
