title: Unresponsive Ubuntu terminal following npm install command - cannot access server via SSH
body: <p>I am unable to get the terminal of my Ubuntu server to respond after running the following npm install command.</p>
  <p>The <code>^C</code> is displayed every time I try to <code>ctl-c</code> to stop the operation.</p>
  <pre><code>sudo npm install --legacy-peer-deps
  ^C^C^C^C
  </code></pre>
  <p>I have also tried logging in with <code>ssh</code> in a separate terminal window but do not receive a password prompt. The cursor simply goes to the next line and hangs.</p>
  <p>If anyone can help out with this I'd much appreciate it. Thanks in advance.</p>
