npm create refine-app@latest stalls when choosing nextjs
Hi,
I'm trying to get started with Refine but installation stalls when using the cli.
The initial options are Vite or Nextjs, if you choose Nextjs the install hangs.
Has anyone managed to get this to work, or is there a recommended work around?
Thanks

npm create refine-app@latest with the Next.js template. One common cause is related to recent changes or issues in the antd (Ant Design) dependency, which can cause the build process to hang indefinitely after project creation, especially when example pages are included. This is a known issue and has been discussed in the community. The Refine team has responded by locking the antd version in their templates to avoid this problem, but if you are still experiencing it, it may be due to a cached or older template, or a new issue with dependencies.
Recommended Workarounds:
1. Try a Clean Install:Make sure you are using the latest version of the CLI and try deleting your
node_modules and package-lock.json (or pnpm-lock.yaml/yarn.lock) before running the install again.
2. Use a Different Package Manager:Some users have reported better results using
pnpm instead of npm, as pnpm can be more resilient to network or dependency resolution issues. For example:
If you encounter issues with npm, switching to pnpm may help, especially on unreliable connections or when npm stalls during package installation. This has been confirmed by users who had success with pnpm after npm failed for them Create refine-app crashing with SAOError.
3. Check for Ant Design Issues:If the build hangs during the
build step, it may be due to a breaking change in antd. The Refine team has locked the antd version in their templates to mitigate this, but if you still encounter the issue, try downgrading antd to a known working version (e.g., 5.37.4) in your package.json and reinstall dependencies. More details can be found in this discussion: Infinite build time after create refine-app.
4. Build Steps:If you are running
npm run start without first running npm run build, you may encounter errors. Always run npm run build before npm run start for production builds. For development, use npm run dev cannot run nextjs project created with npm create refine-app.
5. Node Version:Ensure you are using a supported Node.js version (Node 18 or 20 is recommended). Some users have reported issues with newer or unsupported Node versions. If you continue to experience issues, please provide your OS, Node.js version, and the exact steps you are following, as this can help narrow down the cause.
