Create-vk-mini-app does not create an application template. Can you help?

Question

Node.js

I'm trying to create a mini-application with: npx @vkontakte/create-vk-mini-app myApp
In the project folder, the source code of the application template should appear in the src folder, but only node-modules, package.json, etc. lie. and in the console the error is:

Mistake

?? npm error:
Error: Command failed: cd myApp && npm install [email protected]^7.0.3 [email protected]^4.13.0 [email protected]^4.0.3 --save-dev

Going to Google constantly talked about the need to add the "--force" or "--legacy-peer-deps" argument to the command, but this does not help either.
Please help, suggest at least in which direction to look

In general, a closer reading of the logs and errors led to the fact that you need to downgrade npm to 6.4.11 using npm i [email protected] -g. After that, everything is installed without tambourines.
