npm init vue@latest failed

Installing create-vue@latest led to the error output:

I am running npm on Debian 11. I have installed it by apt-get install npm. dpkg -l tells npm is of version 7.5.2 ds-2.

As I am very new to vue.js - just passed the tutorial - what to do next? My goal is to create client forms for accessing REST services.

NPM warns you to update your node version, v14 LTS is fine but v16.x.x is ok too.
If you need the v12 for something else I suggest you to look into NVM for managing multiple Node versions.
