If your React Native installation is stuck while attempting to install the hermes-engine version 0.71.2, there are a few troubleshooting steps that you can try to resolve the issue:

1. Check your internet connection: Slow or intermittent internet connections can cause installations to stall or fail. Make sure that you have a stable and reliable internet connection.

2. Clear the npm cache: Clearing the npm cache can sometimes help resolve installation issues. Run the following command to clear the npm cache:

npm cache clean --force

1. Try installing the package separately: You can try installing the hermes-engine package separately using the following command:

npm install @react-native-community/hermes@0.7.1

1. Update your Node.js version: Ensure you have the latest stable version of Node.js installed.

2. Delete nodemodules and try again: Encountering such hiccups is a common occurrence. Try deleting the nodemodules directory and running your npm install command again:

rm -rf node_modules/
npm install

1. Try installing from another network: Connectivity issues may result from limitations or firewalls from the network you're currently using. Try using a different network or temporarily disable firewalls.

2. Reinstall Node.js: Finally, you can try uninstalling Node.js and then performing a fresh installation of Node.js.

After implementing these steps, try running the installation again to see if the issue has been resolved.
