pm2 commad always stuck at [PM2] Spawning PM2 daemon with pm2_home=/home/$USER/.pm2

I'm installing node using snap, that's why it didn't work, but it's working now if you install manually, cheers.

You need to either update Node to a newer version or downgrade PM2 to an older version. This solved the issue:

npm uninstall -g pm2 npm install -g [email protected]
