Hello, I’m trying to install the meteor 3 version for testing, but we’re not able to do so. What are we doing wrong?
Where do we follow version releases?
Thank you for your attention.

He is using Windows, so this solution might not work 
@marcelodelta, you should have installed NVM in your machine so that you can install the global meteor using a Node.js v14
You can check it here for more information
Once installed in your machine you can run:
meteor create name-of-app --release 3.0-alpha.19
