npx create-next-app@latest nextjs-dashboard --example "https://github.com/vercel/next-learn/tree/main/dashboard/starter-example"

Gives an error suggesting force or legacy options. neither of these work.
I also ran npm install -g pnpm, then tried --force which APPEARED to work, but then failed when attempting to 'npm run dev'

Kindly assist with direction.

Its part of the course and https://nextjs.org/learn/dashboard-app/getting-started. pnpm is just package manager that this project uses. I suggest you to follow the course if you are not yet sure what you are doing

Hmm. I did exactly what the course prescribed which is why I requested assistance when it failed. If you read the course, you'll notice it prescribes npx and the precise command I listed above. If one doesn't know what they're doing, following a prescribed tutorial is the should be a functioning course of action - not one that fails requiring support. I hope that makes sense.

Yeah I tried for myself. They just have broken tutorial 🙂
