Error starting server after fresh clone of template

[TAnas0]

Describe the bug Running the recommended command npx create-strapi-app strapi-medusa --template https://github.com/Kyle772/strapi-medusa-template.git results in an error with versions:

• Node: v18.20.3 LTS Hydrogen
• NPM: 10.7.0
• Yarn: 1.22.22

Going into the resulting directory and running yarn develop , or running yarn start after a successful build, leads to the same error.

The command is recommended in the README of medusa-strapi package.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Make sure you have the same versions as above
2. Run the command: npx create-strapi-app strapi-medusa --template https://github.com/Kyle772/strapi-medusa-template.git

Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu 23.10, Kernel version 6.5.0-41-generic

Hi Thank you for highlighting this issue.

[TAnas0]

I would like to add that the template mentioned in the README points to a separate repository (https://github.com/Kyle772/strapi-medusa-template), which i found a bit weird. The template is a fork and is behind its origin https://github.com/SharmaPawan11/strapi-medusa-template/commits/master/. Maybe the documentation is out-of-date, or am I misunderstanding something wrong in how to get started with the template: should I rather just fork this whole repository?
