npm won't work if you try to install on USB devices, try changing the directory to your hard drive.

I managed to install without problems after moving the project to a folder with a shorter path. C:\Themes

I can see your path is not that long but in my case a problem was with a too long path.

So the solution was to move project to a location with shorter path, like: D:\my-project\

As @RidgeA said in their comment...

Use npm i --no-optional. This will not install optional dependencies, one of which is fsevents. The reason it is getting stuck is because fsevents is written for Mac (see https://www.npmjs.com/package/fsevents).
