Error

Could not create a project called "MyApp" because of npm naming restrictions: name can no longer contain capital letters

Fix

npm package names must be lowercase. Create it lowercase (npx create-next-app my-app) and rename the folder afterwards if you want a capitalized directory. The package.json name stays lowercase.
