[SOLVED] yarn create app with a specific version of a app

yarn create app with a specific version of a app

Is there a way to use the following:

yarn create strapi-app my-project --quickstart

but use a specific version of strapi like version v4.13.6 instead of the latest which at the time of writing is v4.13.7

Solution

@ symbol is everything you need. The convention of using a package of a concrete version is usually package@1.0.0.

So for npx it will look like this

npx create-strapi-app@4.13.6 my-project

but I think yarn create may be an exception, look at this issue. Bear in mind that yarn create is a command that creates new projects from any create-* starter kits so I guess for now they do not support a concrete version usage for the command (that may be reasonable assumption that user will always want to start a new project with the latest version).

My advice to you is just use npx for now.
