Fleek Add Gives Error reading package cache

[caseya565]

Any attempt to use "fleek add" or "fleek search" gives the following error:

[*] Search the package repository
▀ Reading package cache (0s)
ERROR Error reading package cache
ERROR
ERROR Error: nix search: exit status 1

ERROR There was an internal error. Run with FLEEK_DEBUG=1 for a detailed error message, and consider reporting it at https://github.com/ublue-os/fleek/issues

This is after an initial setup of fleek following the instructions at https://getfleek.dev/docs/installation

I am unsure as to why it failes to read the package cache as using nix without fleek I am able to install packages.

Environment

• OS: Ubuntu 23.10
• Shell: bash
• fleek version unsure as the "fleek version" command gives
  "WARN Unable to check latest version
  └ error: Get "https://releases.getfleek.dev/fleek/stable/version": dial tcp: lookup releases.getfleek.dev on 127.0.0.53:53: no such host
  0.10.5:

Additional context
I am just dipping my toes into linux things beyond Ubuntu so please forgive me if this is a simple mistake on my end.
