this can be a setup process issue as I’m still learning the nodejs ecosystem. But it appeared every time I executed it wherever I installed vue in.

despite running the create command with npm, vue-cli will try to use yarn to install the packages for that new projec for you - if it’s installed. (We can’t detect how you ran the create command so can’t deduce from that).

Since you appearantly have yarn installed, it tries to use yarn, but fails since your yarn config / installation seems broken?

You should check to see if running yarn config get registry works in your terminal.

Assuming yarn installation really is broken and you don’t succeed in fixing it, as a workaround you can

a) uninstall yarn so create will fall back to npm b) explictly tell it to use npm:

vue create myproject --packageManager npm

Another workaround:

vue config -s packageManager npm
