Expo error while choosing template: Could not get npm url for package

Error:

Laptop:~/Documents/react$ expo init PasswordManager
✔ Choose a template: › blank               a minimal app as clean as an empty canvas
✖ Something went wrong while downloading and extracting the template.
Could not get npm url for package "expo-template-blank"

I am trying to set up React Native in my Linux Mint. I tried using sudo expo init PasswordManager but it was same, I tried doing sudo npm config set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/ and npm install expo-template-blank

Node version: v16.14.0
