neu create fail behind a proxy

[Fabien-B]

I am on Linux behind a proxy. I have the http_proxy and https_proxy environment variables set.
I am using neu CLI: v9.4.0

$ neu create myApp

neu: INFO Downloading neutralinojs/neutralinojs-minimal template to myApp directory...
node:events:491
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

}

Node.js v18.13.0

Are environment variables honored ? Is there a way to use neu create from behind a proxy?

@Fabien-B
The error message ECONNREFUSED typically means that a TCP connection attempt was refused by the server
you should try using sudo

@shalithasuranga please assign this issue to me
my approach: add a support system for proxy setting to download
