• I am trying to setup amplify for a project and when I run "amplify init" from the CLI it will freeze at the "Enter a name for the environment" phase. I get the flashing cursor but I am unable to type anything. Ctrl+c does nothing as well. The only way to get out of it is to close Terminal.

There was an issue with one of the dependency packages in 1.7.4. We've fixed it in our last release.
Please update to version 1.7.5 and try again.
