Installing Earlier Dependencies

[hackamman]

Hello everyone, I am on lesson 10 and just about to start the project and as Patrick said copied the yarn.lock and package.json from the original repository, but after I run yarn create next-app it says :
success Installed "create-next-app@13.1.6" with binaries:
- create-next-app
[#############] 13/13The directory sample contains files that could conflict:

package.json
yarn.lock

Either try using a new directory name, or remove the files listed above.

If I remove the files it installs the newest version of the dependencies. How can I keep the older versions can someone help?

@hackamman He said just copy the content. Remove these files and create your projects, after that copy the content of package.json file and paste into your package.json file.

Thank you for the answer. Does pasting the files automatically change dependency versions or do I need to run some additional command?

@hackamman No you need to install these dependencies, run npm install --force (make sure to remove the node_modules folder if you have already).
