安装NextJS时遇TypeError: Cannot read properties of null报错求助

• 操作场景：正在按照NextJS官方教程完成安装步骤，执行命令：

  npm install react@latest react-dom@latest next@latest
  

• 出现的错误：

  npm error Cannot read properties of null (reading 'matches')
  

• 当前项目目录下的package.json内容：

• 附加信息：本人是前端开发新手，不清楚如何调试修复该问题，完整错误日志已记录。

• 清理npm缓存，执行命令：

  npm cache clean --force
  

• 若目录下存在node_modules文件夹或package-lock.json文件，先删除它们，再重新执行安装命令
• 降级npm版本（当前使用的npm 10.7.0可能存在已知bug），执行命令：

  npm install -g npm@10.6.0
  

• 改用官方推荐的项目创建方式，跳过手动安装依赖的步骤：

  npx create-next-app@latest
  

  按照终端提示完成项目初始化即可
• 检查当前项目目录的读写权限，确保npm拥有足够权限写入文件
