    Hello,
    I have been looking into your question and tested the provided command. On my side, everything seems to work as expected without any exceptions. A discussion that you might consider helpful could be found in our GitHub repository here.
    Additionally, since you are able to successfully create a new project using CLI this could be used as an alternative.
    Regarding your second question I could suggest looking at this topic where is mentioned that Ignite UI CLI is a stand-alone command-line tool for creating and scaffolding applications for a variety of frameworks.
    On the other hand, Ignite UI for Angular Schematics are part of the same project, available as a collection that can be used with the Angular CLI. They offer similar core Ignite UI CLI functionality, but one that`s integrated with the Schematics workflow and focused specifically on this product. The schematics collection is added to your project when you install Ignite UI for Angular.
    Both versions of the tooling allow for generating different projects, component and scenario views (templates).
    In addition, a useful guide could be found here.
    Let me know if I may be of any further assistance.

    Sincerely,
