What happended?

I installed medusa as stated in the documentation, when I try to run it with the “npm run dev” command I get errors and can't proceed. I deleted the “node_modules” folder and reinstalled it, but the problem persists.

Error on first installation;
An error occurred while preparing project: Error: Command failed: npx medusa user -e [email protected] --invite Error: Loaders for module Region failed: Could not resolve 'countryService'.

Error with “npm run dev” command;
Invalid or unexpected token: at Object.require.extensions.<computed> [as .js] (/**/**/**/medusa-backend/node_modules/ts-node/src/index.ts:1608:43)
error: Could not resolve module: Region. Error: Loaders for module Region failed: Could not resolve 'countryService'.

Expected behavior

It should work with the “npm run dev” command.

Actual behavior

.

hey @aydinvivik, I couldn't reproduce that on my end. Were there any additional errors when you ran npx create-medusa-app@latest?

Hi @fPolic , when I ran npx create-medusa-app@latest it didn't give any error but later it gave error.

I guess I won't find a solution to this.
