Hi there, I got the same problem creating a new Angular Project:

Information about versions:

Node: v13.1.0 | npm: 6.12.1

1. During installation I got this message:

npm WARN deprecated fsevents@1.2.9: One of your dependencies needs to upgrade to fsevents v2: 
1) Proper nodejs v10+ support 2) No more fetching binaries from AWS, smaller package size

2. After finish, I got this error:

npm ERR! cb() never called!

When I try to upgrade fsevents to v2 (as the message 1. says) by:

npm install -g fsevents

I got this message:
