@markkaylor, @remidej would you please help us out with this issue?

Hi we have moved templates and starters to npm

Could you try this command

yarn create strapi-app my-blog --template blog

## or

npx create-strapi-app my-blog --template blog

https://www.npmjs.com/package/@strapi/template-blog
https://github.com/strapi/starters-and-templates

For v3 Strapi applications you can run:

npx create-strapi-app@3.6.8 my-blog --template blog

Thank you! And appreciate the links.

It might be an idea to update some of the tutorials. I was following along this one: https://strapi.io/blog/build-a-blog-with-next-react-js-strapi

@jhurl3y I was following the same tutorial and got the exact same issue on a M1 Mac Mini:

If you use Strapi v4 you can find here the new mono-repo for all official Strapi v4 templates and starters: https://github.com/strapi/starters-and-templates
