I haven't done anything after running the npm create-next-app@latest

Is there a way to help find the app / pages directory? It exists.

Error: > Couldn't find any `pages` or `app` directory. Please create one under the project root

Thanks! I fixed it. WebStorm has a built-in support for Next where it auto-runs the command npx --yes create-next-app , but it still failed. After I removed sudo apt-get remove nodejs package, it worked. Maybe there was a conflict? =\
