title: npm install hangs at " reify:tailwindcss: timing build:queue Completed in 141ms"
body: <p>It always hangs at the same place: <code>reify:tailwindcss: timing build:queue Completed in [number]ms</code></p>
  <p>I've even tried just walking away and leaving it overnight to no avail. What's really frustrating is this worked on another project for me about a week ago, but for the past two days I've hit this wall.</p>
  <p>I've tried a couple of approaches I've seen here (each time removing the <code>node_modules</code> folder):</p>
  <ul>
  <li><code>npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/</code></li>
  <li><code>npm cache clear --force</code></li>
  <li>Downgrading NPM to v6</li>
  </ul>
  <p>Here is the <code>package.json</code> file:</p>
  <pre><code>    &quot;private&quot;: true,
      &quot;scripts&quot;: {
          &quot;dev&quot;: &quot;npm run development&quot;,
          &quot;development&quot;: &quot;mix&quot;,
          &quot;watch&quot;: &quot;mix watch&quot;,
          &quot;watch-poll&quot;: &quot;mix watch -- --watch-options-poll=1000&quot;,
          &quot;hot&quot;: &quot;mix watch --hot&quot;,
          &quot;prod&quot;: &quot;npm run production&quot;,
          &quot;production&quot;: &quot;mix --production&quot;
      },
      &quot;devDependencies&quot;: {
          &quot;@tailwindcss/forms&quot;: &quot;^0.2.1&quot;,
          &quot;alpinejs&quot;: &quot;^2.7.3&quot;,
          &quot;autoprefixer&quot;: &quot;^10.1.0&quot;,
          &quot;axios&quot;: &quot;^0.21&quot;,
          &quot;laravel-mix&quot;: &quot;^6.0.6&quot;,
          &quot;lodash&quot;: &quot;^4.17.19&quot;,
          &quot;postcss&quot;: &quot;^8.2.1&quot;,
          &quot;postcss-import&quot;: &quot;^12.0.1&quot;,
          &quot;tailwindcss&quot;: &quot;^2.0.2&quot;
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  <p>And here's the last few lines of output from <code>npm install --verbose</code></p>
