I watched your video while my npm install was running. We should create a community for people to complains about npm install time while waiting for npm install to finish.

TL;DR npm install => 121 sec yarn install => 73 sec npm set progress=off; npm install => 68 sec yarn install --prefer-offline => 47 sec

This command line: npm install -g @angular/cli takes around 3 hours to install in my laptop. I don't know why, but it is really annoying.
