Describe the Bug

when I try installing Astro using this command: npm create astro@latest
this error appears:
TypeError [ERR_INVALID_PROTOCOL]: Protocol "http:" not supported. Expected "https:" at new NodeError (node:internal/errors:372:5) at new ClientRequest (node:_http_client:164:11) at request (node:https:353:10) at get (node:https:387:15) at file:///C:/Users/username/AppData/Local/npm-cache/_npx/abdb4b598af046c4/node_modules/create-astro/dist/index.js:259:3 at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96:5) { code: 'ERR_INVALID_PROTOCOL' }
