- What operating system are you using? Also what OS version? What Conda version? What Python version?
- For steps (1) and (2) you posted above, can you provide the exact sequence of commands you used? For example:

"sh: next: command not found" in Next.js Development? Here's the Fix!
Ever run in your Next.js project only to be greeted by the confusing error? Don't worry, this is a common hurdle faced by developers, and it's easily fixable.
This error pops up because the next command isn't recognized by your terminal. It could be due to two reasons:
- Next.js Installed Locally: Most likely, Next.js is installed as a project dependency, not globally on your system.
- Missing Script: Your package.json might be missing the script that triggers the next dev command.
Let's explore solutions for both scenarios:
Solution 1: Running Next.js Locally
If you prefer to keep Next.js specific to your project, follow these steps:
1. Utilize the Occupied Command
Since Next.js is a local dependency, you can directly run the development server using the full command:
This should initiate the script defined in your package.json (assuming it includes next dev).
2. Verify package.json Script:
Open your project's package.json and check for the "scripts" section. Make sure it contains the following script:
If missing, add this script and try npm jog dev again.
Solution 2: Insta

What do you mean by that? I opened the terminal inside VS Code.
What does the part of the package.json file look like (post it).
This is the package.json file:
This is a Next JS boilerplate I made a few weeks before, now it is not running the command anymore. I also habe some issues with webpack, is it possible that it has something to do with that?
