```bash
npx create-next-app --example with-pkg with-pkg-app

To do it we need to create at least a super simple custom server that allow us to run `node server.js` instead of `next` or `next start`. We also need to create a `index.js` that works as the entry point for **pkg**, in that file we force to set NODE_ENV as production.
