bug: An error occurred while running subprocess npm. ( npm i exited with exit code 1 ). about ionic-framework

[mapsandapps]

Hi, I've created a new starter app just now using Ionic CLI 7.2.0, and I'm not experiencing any problems. I'm thinking there might have been a temporary outage somewhere preventing you from installing packages. Could you please try again and let me know if you're still unable to create a starter app?

For any one else facing similar issue, After spending hours, Temp Solution/hack that worked for me on MAC OS though the release : 7.2.0 is still buggy
hope this is fixed in version 8.0
