Every time I create a new next.js project and run it via npm run dev, it fails to run and instantly error. I've tried multiple times with new installs with no success. Does anyone have any idea?

Edit: I also cannot find anyone else with this issue online or how to resolve it.

I recommend updating it to 18 since it is the LTS version but 16.8 should be enough
