what happens when you run
npx create-next-app@latest?American black bearOP
the same get the error from the image
i did some digging and found out its looking for at file in "appdata/roaming/npm" but there is no npm folder in /roaming, so i see what the problem is, but have no idea for how to fix it.

Did you try installing npx?

Npx is the executable of npm so I don’t think it’s that.
It looks like it can’t find the where you installed npm

I would check your PATH variables to make sure node is set up correctly

have no idea about what to check for or where

since you're only just setting up node and npm i would uninstall them and try again fresh. something must have gone wrong on your installation
