This scenario sounds like you may have a slow internet connection.

I solved my this error like SS

in the following way:

Try increasing the timeout from 60s to 90s by adding this to your .npmrc file:

You need create .npmrc file if you do not have it

• C:\Users{username}.npmrc (for Windows)

• ~/.npmrc (for Linux/Mac)

  timeout=60000

And you could also try adding if you have a slow internet connection or want to save bandwidth

prefer-offline=true

Or you can create/update one in the same directory as the project's package.json file as well.
