React-native-camera: npm install failed:[server error] Cannot load the stats for react-native-camera

Hi ,
I'm trying to use this package,

npm i react-native-camera --save

but then I got this error:

> [email protected] postinstall /Users/hfli/workspace/git/Okapia/Okapia/node_modules/react-native-camera
> opencollective postinstall

[server error] Cannot load the stats for react-native-camera – please try again later

I have tried several times but got the same error. So how could I fix this?

Update: I successfully installed it by using yarn
` yarn add react-native-camera
but I still can't figure out why npm install failed.

Facing the same issue, but need to use npm.
Any suggestions?

npm cache verify
npm cache clean --force

Didn't help

$ node -v

$ npm -v

$ npm install -g opencollective

solved for me
