npm init next-app creates a project that uses yarn

See original GitHub issue

Bug report

Describe the bug

Running npm init next-app creates a new Next.js project that uses Yarn, rather than npm. Given, the fact that I’m using npm to create the project, and the docs offer two options for getting started, one with npm and one with Yarn, this is completely unexpected behavior.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior, please provide code snippets or a repository:

Read getting started docs
Choose the npm option
Run npm init next-app
Get a project that uses Yarn

Expected behavior

It should create a project that uses npm for package management.

Here ya go, Tim!

Anyone who comes here, I don’t think it’s well documented but I found you can install with npm using the --use-npm flag.

e.g.

npx create-next-app my-app --use-npm

# or 

npm init next-app my-app --use-npm

Hope this helps 🙂

I also agree with @pjaws. Even if we have have yarn installed, create-next-app should have a switch to use npm instead of yarn if its detected.
