Timeout trying to fetch resolutions from npm

Question

I'm trying to install microsoft-cognitiveservices-speech-sdk

npm install microsoft-cognitiveservices-speech-sdk

but I keep encountering this error Timeout trying to fetch resolutions from npm

The solutions I'm finding on stackoverflow all point to adding a preinstall line to my package.json where I specify this "preinstall": "npx npm-force-resolutions@0.0.3" which would work fine if the microsoft-cognitiveservbices-speech-sdk didn't have the same line in its package.json where its trying to install the npm-force-resoultion in its preinstall without a version declared. So I guess is there an .npmrc config value I can set so I won't experience the timeout error (timeout=60000 didn't work)?

> microsoft-cognitiveservices-speech-sdk@1.21.0-alpha.0.1 preinstall
> npm install --package-lock-only --ignore-scripts --no-audit && npx npm-force-resolutions

I am able to install the speech sdk on a default node@16.15.1 docker container. The only trouble I had was figuring out the earlier version of the node docker contain require you to provide the --workdir parameter, or NPM will fail every install with a generic "IdealTree" error.

Are you able to use the following? If not, what errors do you get?

C:\Users\brianem>docker run -it --rm --workdir /temp node:16.15.1 bash
