@R0N1n-dev Could you please try with npm install --ddd to run install command with log level silly to get more information about the issue?
Also you can try updating npm@10.8.0 which is latest.

Is there any default better way of telling progress in 10.8

@R0N1n-dev spinner is indicative of the progress, also you can use various log levels to see progress. You can follow the discussions on progress bar removal on this issue #7425
Let us know if you still are facing installation issue with logs to check further.

This is a problem for me as well - npm install --force just hangs indefinitely. v10.5 works fine (with node 21)

we're microsoft, we can't handle complicate things like progress bars
