Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, mkdir 'C:\Users\Philip'

I'm new to Vue. I'm copying directly from the Vue tutorial.

Philip Smolen@DESKTOP-UOBK4AV MINGW64 /c/simple-projects/vue-test
$ npm init vue@latest
Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, mkdir 'C:\Users\Philip'
command not found: create-vue

Philip Smolen@DESKTOP-UOBK4AV MINGW64 /c/simple-projects/vue-test
$

It looks like a script is choking because my home directory has a space in it.

I tried several variations on this theme with no success. I tired it under Git Bash and Windows Power Shell. I moved to a directory without any spaces in the name. I tried vue@3 as recommended on another page. I tried --verbose but it didn't show anything useful.

Please advise. How do I get started with Vue? Thanks!

Never mind. I reinstalled node and npm and now I'm past that error.

If anyone encounters this error too, here's a reference to the npx bug: zkat/npx#146 (comment)
