If you do apt-get update in terminal before installing the vue/cli, the issue will be solved.

In a nutshell, apt-get update doesn't actually install new versions of software. Instead, it updates the package lists for upgrades for packages that need upgrading, as well as new packages that have just come to the repositories.

apt-get update downloads the package lists from the repositories and "updates" them to get information on the newest versions of packages and their dependencies. It will do this for all repositories and PPAs.

After switching the machine I was using to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS I am no longer having the problem. I made an issue on the vue-cli repository and it seems like at least one other person is having a similar problem, but with a different environment.
