I was also facing the same issue. Later on I find out I set the npm config registry to local one, which was not getting connected.

So I used npm config delete registry

After this it was working fine

I had the same problem, any command that starts with npm just hangs. Apparently I accidentally set up the wrong prefix in my npm. The way I solved it:

  1. go to your folder directory (e.g. C:/USER/)
  2. ls -al
  3. .npmrc folder would appear in your directory and open it in any editor
  4. change your prefix back to what it was.

voila, it's back to what it was again.

Try to run npm init first then carry on with enter to skip the questions, make sure you have a package.json file then try running npm -v
