How to create node project using npm init? Getting stuck at version

Question

I am a newbie of nodejs, I am trying to a create node js project using npm init command but it stops at version. Can someone please help?

Below is error:

Press ^C at any time to quit.
name: (node_init)
version: (1.0.0)

Did you hit the `Enter` key while the `version` input was prompted? — David R, Jun 10 '17 at 06:43

It's an error in the newest version. You can use npm init -f as a workaround until it is fixed.

You could also make use of npm init --yes or npm init -y

and npm initializes a project with the default package.json values, or

npm init -f

using --force
