What happended?

When I run npx create-medusa-app©latest I am not getting prompted to enter my db credentials, and then I get thrown with the following error.

npx create-medusa-app@latest

It should let me input my DB credentials.

Actual behavior

It doesn't. Also, the link to the discord is invalid.

I solved the permission denied error, but was still not prompted to enter the db credentials at setup

Hi @jcedborger , the permission issue isn't something to resolve from our side, so glad you could resolve that!

I assume then the rest of the setup was successful?

but was still not prompted to enter the db credentials at setup

By default, the create-medusa-app command uses your postgres user with default credentials. If it can't connect to the database with the default credentials, it then asks you for the database credentials. So, it just means that the command connected to your database successfully.

is there a reason you want to be prompted for the database credentials during setup?

Will close this issue as it's the expected behavior and for lack of response. Feel free to follow-up if you have more questions.
