NPM Fails to Install dependencies

[janmohn]

Have you experienced this bug with the latest version of the template?

Yes

Steps to Reproduce

npx create-remix@latest --template remix-run/grunge-stack

Dependencies installing with npm...

▲  Oh no! Failed to install dependencies.

The above happened repeatedly in different directories

---

Whilst troubleshooting I installed a fresh remix@latest app, without the grunge template and the install including the dependencies completed without error.

Expected Behavior

complete install and config steps

Actual Behavior

install fails on npm dependency install

Here is the NPM error.

I was able to get past this error by running npm install --force. The smoke test all ran and the app seems to be fine. Have not tried to deploy.

It looks like the ^ carat range version constraint in package.json is causing issues. The major version of vite appears to be the discrepancy. I was able to resolve by changing "vite": "^4.5.0" to "vite": "^5.0.0". I would create a PR for that change, but I am brand new to JS and do not know much about these dependencies.
