Hi,

Yesterday's release changed a bit the way we use npm dist tags: we don't use @next anymore now, and all v2 packages are published with "latest" tag.

I'm in the process to remove all @next refs from the doc, it's only a temporary doc issue ;)

Hello everyone，I met this issue too.And I use this command sudo npx @docusaurus/[email protected] init my-website classic solved my problem.

[slorber]

@ledtest we don't document anymore to use @next. If you follow the updated doc it should work.
