You selected the taobao npm registry which seems to be causing the issue... Try editing ~/.vuerc and disable "useTaobaoRegistry".

Alternatively, there's corrupted cache. Run npm cache clean --force and try again.

I'm closing this as it's not really something can be fixed by Vue CLI. But let us know if the above fixes the problem.

Thanks, Evan. I disabled the TaobaoRegistry in the .vuerc:
{ "useTaobaoRegistry": false, "packageManager": "npm" }
Now, project creation works. Perhaps the default vue-cli installation should come with this option disabled. I don't think I have ever modified the .vuerc file by hand.
