I am unable to create a vue-app

[PriyanJeyaram]

My Environment:

Ubuntu 22.04.3
Node Version: v18.18.2
NPM Version: 10.2.1
Vue version: @vue/cli 5.0.8

I used NVM to install Node using nvm install v18.18.2
Then I proceeded to check the version of npm, which was 9.x, So I updated it to 10.2.1 with npm i npm@latest -g
Then I installed Vue CLI with npm install -g @vue/cli
After everything set right, I tried to create my first-vue-app using vue create first-vue-app
But all I got was:

Error: You are using an outdated version of NPM.
It does not support some core functionalities of Vue CLI.
Please upgrade your NPM version.

Node.js v18.18.2

How do I get my app started and running?

Remove all directories and files.
Remove the last few lines containing nvm from .bashrc
Remove .npm directory.

I purged everything and reinstalled it. It works with

Node version: 18.18.2
NPM Version: 9.8.1
Vue CLI: 5.0.8
