Can't install plugin via NPM (npm ERR! ELOOP: too many symbolic links encountered) #74

I tried to install the plugin via Cordova CLI and via NPM in an Ionic 3 project, neither of them work.

Via Cordova CLI

Mac-mini-4:socle-ionic3-ng5 mac-mini-de-thibault$ cordova plugin add cordova-pdf-generator --save
(node:28972) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): CordovaError: Failed to fetch plugin cordova-pdf-generator via registry.
Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.

I use Mac OSX High Sierra with Node v8.9.3, NPM v5.5.1, Cordova CLI v8.0.0, Ionic v3.9.2

And the debug log ends like this :

Sorry, deleting node_modules folder and rerunning npm install fixed this issue
