nuxt.js localhost:3000 not running - node.js

Question

As I'm currently going from React to Vue.js, i failed with running my localhost on Port 3000. Getting the below error message. Looks like there is a problem with the server.
Down below a added the installation process so that it gets clearer how it's installed.
Also you can find the error message when running npm run dev.
Any suggestions what the problem could be?

Since the v5, a Node v14 version is required: https://github.com/nuxt/create-nuxt-app/releases/tag/v5.0.0
So you can either try that. It works on my side with the latest LTS: Node v16.
Or fallback into using the v4 of the CLI.
That version runs perfectly for ages already
npx create-nuxt-app my-cool-app
and is well battle-tested!
