One way to overcome the FATAL ERROR: NewSpace::Rebalance Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory error is to increase the memory allocation, for which we need to set the the max_old_space_size variable value accordingly,

For e.g,

node --max-old-space-size=1024 index.js => This will allocate 1GB memory.

Hence try increasing it like,

node --max_old_space_size=2048 and once done execute your npm init command.

Hope this helps!
