Hello my friends, I got stucked at the very first step to setup a local PXT dev env. With [https://github.com/carlosperate/pxt-banana](https://github.com/carlosperate/pxt-banana), a `pxt target microbit` command hangs for ever and I have to press Ctrl-C to abort it:

With the [PXT sample target](https://github.com/Microsoft/pxt-sample) similar things happen when executing `npm install pxt`.
Please help!

I have an update on the issue mentioned ealier in this topic. The next day at 4:36 am I retried, and everything went fine, the problem disappeared. So, I learned a valuable first lesson in PXT development: if `npm install` gets stuck, set an alarm for 4:36 am the next morning and go do something else!
