As already mentioned you need to run `npx create-sitecore-jss nextjs`. This is a new feature that was added to `Sitecore JSS 20.0.0:` https://github.com/Sitecore/jss/releases/tag/v20.0.0 > New Features & Improvements [create-sitecore-jss] > > - New package containing initializers / templates for JSS sample applications (#881), (#883), (#882), (#880), (#879), (#878), (#876) > - This replaces previous `jss create` method to create new JSS applications > - You can now create an application with guided prompts using initializer command of choice (`npx create-sitecore-jss`, `npm init` > `sitecore-jss`, `yarn create sitecore-jss`) 🎉🎉🎉 So that is why `jss create test-app nextjs` works when trying to use `Sitecore JSS 19.0.0`. It doesn't work anymore with `Sitecore JSS 20.0.0`.
