React360 npm install stuck at Loading dependency graph

Question

I have to do some work with VR for a uni project and I installed the React360 cli for this. I then ran react-360 init Hello360, cd Hello360. The files are all installed and fine

The issue is when I try to start the local server with npm start. Once I type enter I see what is below and nothing else. its stuck. Can anyone help me isolate the issue?

> node node_modules/react-360/scripts/packager.js

open browser at http://localhost:8081/index.html
