I have been trying to install some packages and libraries like react-dom and react-icons but I have not been able to get any luck.

Every time I run an npm install command such as: npm install react-icons --save

or: npm install react react-dom

All I get is a blank line in terminal and my install doesn't go through.

This is irregardless of whether I add --save or not.

It is also irregardless of whether I use something like an integrated terminal in VS Code or my native terminal application.

npm start works and such so I'm thinking its just my install command that is failing.
