[EXIT HANDLER NEVER CALLED] While installing dependencies using NPM v8.19.2 on ARMv8

[Sc00bz77]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

This issue exists in the latest npm version

• I am using the latest npm

Current Behavior

Running npx create-next-app@latest creates the below Error while installing dependencies.

npm ERR! Exit handler never called!
                                                npm ERR! This is an error with npm itself. Please report this error at:                         npm ERR!     <https://github.com/npm/cli/issues>                                                npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:                                            npm ERR!     /home/kali/.npm/_logs/2022-11-22T16_44_39_402Z-debug-0.log

The result in the directory is:

• node_modules
• package.json

Expected Behavior

Expected to initialise NextJs App project tree with project directories etc.

npm isn't currently supported in resource constrained environments due to unbounded parallelization. We're looking to improve this soon.

Thanks for the quick response. I was able to install Yarn using a script I found bouncing around githubLink then after installing n with yarn using
chmod +x install-node-yarn-arm.sh
sudo ./install-node-yarn-arm.sh
Then
yarn add n
yarn n install latest

I could successfully create next app using

yarn create next-app

Thanks 👍
