[TomPeirs]

🐛 Bug Report

Tonight I tried to create a docusaurus instance on my windows machine.

Have you read the Contributing Guidelines on issues?

Yes

To Reproduce

(Write your steps here:)

1. Have node installed Node.js version >= 10.15.1
   --> I currently run node v14.15.0
2. Install Yarn Yarn version >= 1.5
   --> I run yarn version 1.22.5
3. Scaffold your website: npx @docusaurus/init@next init my-website classic
   (The following simply works as expected -> npx @docusaurus/init@2.0.0-alpha.68 init my-website classic)

Expected behavior

A folder structure is scaffolded.

Actual Behavior

npm ERR! notarget No matching version found for @docusaurus/init@next

Hi,

Yesterday's release changed a bit the way we use npm dist tags: we don't use @next anymore now, and all v2 packages are published with "latest" tag.

I'm in the process to remove all @next refs from the doc, it's only a temporary doc issue ;)

Hello everyone，I met this issue too.And I use this command sudo npx @docusaurus/init@2.0.0-alpha.68 init my-website classic solved my problem.

[slorber]

@ledtest we don't document anymore to use @next. If you follow the updated doc it should work.
