I cannot see anything about version picking here

npx create-next-app@versionYouWant
e.g.
npx create-next-app@v14.0.4-canary.11

@Cape horse mackerel npx create-next-app@12.3.4 installed next 14

that version is not available as I can see

weird, it didn't signal an error

there is no such version 12.3.4

latest 12.x version is 12.3.2

just a sec

See, no even a warning

but ok, that's an npx issue then

No, I see 12.3.4 version there

just a sec to test

sure, take your time, thanks

I think you should create it "manually"

and not use the create-next-app

the issue is that iirc create-next-app adds latest next.js version to package.json instead of its own

but can i ask whats wrong with v14? as basically nothing was changed that should be an issue

@Cape horse mackerel You can just run

npx create-next-app

then choose the appropriate options for the verison like src/pages not app router, then do

npm uni next

then

npm i next@whateverversion

granted some issues may arise, but they shouldn't be too probelmatic, nothing even a beginner can't fix.
