Shadcn-ui initialization command gives npm internal Error, says ERR_INVALID_URL. This was performed on a PC running on proxy in a Windows environment

Question

Context: I stay in college dorms, so I need to use college proxy for internet access.

So, recently I tried to use ShadCN for my latest project. After adding components to the files as directed by the official documentation, I had to run the command npx shadcn-ui@latest init

But, when I run it, I get the following error:

node:internal/errors:477
    ErrorCaptureStackTrace(err);
    ^

TypeError [ERR_INVALID_URL]: Invalid URL
    at new NodeError (node:internal/errors:387:5)

    at async handleMainPromise (node:internal/modules/run_main:65:12) {
  input: '{The proxy}',

}

What are the reasons there could be such an error and do you all know any way to fix it?

Thank You!

I looked it up on Google and scoured forums that address the problem but to no avail.
