(cli): CDK v1.88 Init

The CDK init command in the latest version is failing to init with the following error. Using: $ npm -v 6.14.10 $ node -v v14.15.4 $ tsc -v Version 4.1.3

Reverting back to 1.87.1 fixes it. The cdk init command I am trying is: cdk init --language typescript

Error thrown:

  throw err;

Uninstalling and reinstalling CDK worked for me
