I did everything in the doc, after I npm installed and ran it gave me a handful of errors, I'll just throw it all here

You need a newer version of Node. 10 isn't supported. It's going to be end-of-life in a month (https://nodejs.org/en/about/releases/) so you'll want to update for other reasons as well.

@Conduitry I'm on node v12.10.0 and I encountered the same issue. MacOS.

Steps to reproduce

mkdir my-app
cd my-app
npm init svelte@next
npm install
npm run dev

Any thoughts?

You need at least 12.17:

kit/packages/create-svelte/template/package.json

Line 17 in 96cbda3

"node": ">= 12.17.0"

I'm not exactly sure why npm is not alerting you to this fact given what's in the package.json file.

I had the same issue. However after upgrading node version to 12.17.0 I receive following error

As indicated in https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/blob/master/packages/kit/package.json the minimum version is now 12.20, not 12.17.
