What's going on?
When I hit npm install --save react-native-vector-icons, it removes all modules and the whole app breaks. I don't know how to fix this :(
I get this after npm installing: added 2 packages, removed 717 packages and updated 61 packages in 41.429s

Steps to reproduce

I installed ignite with ignite new ignite4 (because I f***ed up so many times)

ignite doctor results:

Hmmmmm I might have found the problem...

Am I supposed to use yarn instead of npm?

If so, why?

I just hit yarn install and now it did install 740 packages or so...

Why doesn't npm work?

Good question. I've heard about as well. Is it this issue?

Not quite sure what's going on.

Give yarn a shot and see if the results are less rage-inducing.

Karsens commented

Thanks. Yeah. Yarn seems to work fine! :)

Ya, npm 5 is having a few problems. Sounds like they're fixing it and should be available soon.

@skellock Have they fixed it?

skellock commented

I’m not sure what their status is. Not having issues here tho. 🤞

I had this issue today. Everything worked fine after a new ignite app initialization. Then I wanted to add js-base64 module with a npm install: it broke everything 😢. Will try with yarn if it solves it.
