We require authorisation key to access magento repos. These keys can be used for authorized downloads of the Magento 2 platform, extensions, and themes.

Choose option : "Create new access keys"
To start installation from terminal switch to non root user and run the following command:
The command will create a folder magento with community edition files:
composer create-project --repository=https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition /home/cpanelusername/public_html/magento
installation will prompt to enter the access key and password for downloading the files
