安装GitHub Fork的React Native包时npm卡顿并报错

我Fork了react-native-draw仓库，执行以下命令安装自己的Fork包：

npm install git+https://github.com/sickopickle/react-native-draw.git

安装过程卡顿，中途显示：

reify:fsevents: timing reifyNode:node_modules/webpack-dev-server/node_modules/fsevents Completed in 36ms

卡顿结束后报错：

npm ERR! Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'spec')
npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:

注：环境为React Native，且能正常安装原仓库包及其他Fork包。

• 检查Fork仓库的package.json完整性
  确保你的Fork仓库根目录下的package.json没有缺失name、version、dependencies等关键字段，格式也需符合JSON规范。npm安装Git仓库包时依赖这些字段解析，缺失或错误会导致arborist模块解析失败。
• 清理npm缓存后重试
  执行以下命令清理缓存并重新安装：

  npm cache clean --force
  rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
  npm install git+https://github.com/sickopickle/react-native-draw.git
  

  Windows用户替换删除命令为：

  rd /s /q node_modules
  del package-lock.json
  

• 指定仓库分支/tag安装
  在安装命令中明确指定分支（如main分支），避免npm自动解析出错：

  npm install git+https://github.com/sickopickle/react-native-draw.git#main
  

• 降级npm版本
  npm 9.x部分场景与arborist模块存在兼容性问题，可降级到npm 8.x版本：

  npm install -g npm@8.19.4
  

  之后重新执行安装命令。
• 本地克隆仓库后手动安装
  1. 克隆你的Fork仓库到本地项目目录外：

     git clone https://github.com/sickopickle/react-native-draw.git
     

  2. 进入项目目录，执行本地路径安装：

     npm install ../react-native-draw
