Hi! This may not be the fanciest thing to do, but it works.
Download this template and then update it to the latest version 3.6.8 of Strapi:

npx create-strapi-app@3.6.8 my-project

This is correct npx create-strapi-app@3.6.8 yourProjectName

I ran that command and it’s still installing v.4.0.0, can you confirm that this is not happening on your end?

You NEED to have the @3.6.8 in the command as that tells npx to pull and use that version. If you use @latest then it will pull v4.

Testing that command works fine for me to generate a v3 project.

Thanks! I may still use strapi v3 meanwhile other plugins do not update. In my case, I use Nuxt v2 and @nuxt/strapi module and had problems with strapi v4
