Couldn't install dependencies while setting up strapi project – CentOS

npx create-strapi-app my-project --quickstart
I am executing this command and it is trying to download certain libraries from github using npm. Due to security reasons the servers are not allowed access to github, so it is not able to download libraries like libvips. Is there any other way to setup a strapi project so that it could get libraries from any other source ?
Here’s the error snippet

npx: installed 91 in 18.847s
