Can't create a fresh Nuxt project?

Question

I tried to create a fresh Nuxt.js project with the below command. Everything has worked fine previously except today.

The process as well as the output are all described below.

Anyone could help me to investigate this ?

The error message shows the problem:

error babel-jest@27.0.6: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module.
Expected version "^10.13.0 || ^12.13.0 || ^14.15.0 || >= 15.0.0". Got "14.4.0"

error Found incompatible module.

create-nuxt-app's babel-jest dependency was recently updated to require Node 14.15.0 or newer, but it looks like you're still using 14.4.0.

Update your Node version to resolve the issue.

Answer 2

npx create-nuxt-app <my-project> is still the fastest and easiest way to get a brand new Nuxt project. Not sure if you'll get the Node issue with it.
