[nuxi 11:28:51 AM]  ERROR  Error: Failed to download template from registry: Failed to download v3 template info from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nuxt/starter/templates/templates/v3.json: 404 Not Found

This issue was already created but closed before had a solution: #456.

npx nuxi info output:

My machine is able to access the template file since running:

node -e "fetch('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nuxt/starter/templates/templates/v3.json').then(r => r.json()).then(console.log)"

Results in:

{
  name: 'v3',
  defaultDir: 'nuxt-app',
  url: 'https://nuxt.com',
  tar: 'https://codeload.github.com/nuxt/starter/tar.gz/refs/heads/v3'
}

I did some testing. I'm able to create a project using [email protected]. Any version after this one results in the 404 error.

Update: the same issue still happens when creating with the new npm create nuxt@latest. This is the output I got:
