Vue CLI installation fails with errors, perhaps only with npm v7

[shoichiaizawa]

Version

4.5.12

Environment info

OS:      macOS Catelina 10.15.7 (19H524)
Node.js: v12.y.z, v14.y.z (installed via nvm v0.38.0)
npm:     v7.7.6

Steps to reproduce

❯❯ npm install -g @vue/cli
npm ERR! code ETARGET
npm ERR! notarget No matching version found for @vue/compiler-core@3.0.10.
npm ERR! notarget In most cases you or one of your dependencies are requesting
npm ERR! notarget a package version that doesn't exist.

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /Users/sho/.npm/_logs/2021-03-31T00_36_52_758Z-debug.log

What is expected?

Install Vue CLI successfully.

What is actually happening?

Installation fails with the aforementioned error.

---

This only seems to happen with npm v7.y.z, not with v6.y.z, under any recent Node.js LTS versions (i.e. v12 and v14).

Somebody please tell me what happened?

I guess it's due to a network issue or npm registry cache or something like that.
Because @vue/compiler-core 3.0.10 does exist https://www.npmjs.com/package/@vue/compiler-core/v/3.0.10
But it was released only hours ago so it might be not accessible at the time of your installation due to all kinds of network issues.

Bro, you are absolutely right. I'm run npm install -g @vue/cli again and it's successful installed.
Thank you.
