I have an good internet connection. Can someone help me with this issue?

Answer 1

This seems to be happening as part of the pre-built provider installation. I would start out with cdktf init --template=typescript --local and not select any pre-built providers in the terminal UI. That should get you around the issue and cdktf provider add can help you add the providers after you created your project (or you can add them manually if that does not work).
