Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'project-path/npm-module-name/example/package.json'

Description

I saw a similar issue which is closed where it was suggested to run

npx create-react-native-library@latest react-native-awesome-library

and this seems to work just fine. But when I change react-native-awesome-library to some different name, say react-native-hello-world, I get the error saying:

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'project-path/npm-module-name/example/package.json'

I'm attaching a screen recording of this

Do let me know if you need any particular details

The error is because HelloWorld is a reserved name in React Native CLI. Any other name should work. We should be showing a proper error, however.
