Next.js tutorial, error running Next.js dev server (npm run dev)

Question

I'm doing the starter Next.js tutorial and encountering an error when I try to run the Next dev server and run my app.

Here is what my package.json file contains:

{
  "scripts": {
      "dev": "next dev"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "next": "^12.2.0",
    "react": "^18.2.0",
    "react-dom": "^18.2.0"
  }
}

When running npm run dev, I get the following error:

> @ dev /Users/renaudj/Documents/Projects/next-app
> next dev

/Users/renaudj/Documents/Projects/next-app/node_modules/next/dist/trace/report/index.js:14
    reporters = [];
              ^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token =

Anyone know what I'm missing here? Thank you!

I'm guessing your Node version is less than 12.0. See Minimum Node.js version, you need at least 12.22.0 — Phil

That means that this docs page is wrong because it says minimum node version is 10.13 - nextjs.org/learn/basics/create-nextjs-app/setup — JK.

Yes, updating your version of node will solve this issue.

Before doing this, delete the node_modules folder in your project.

Then to update node to the latest stable version, run the following command on your terminal:

sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable

You may need to restart your terminal to see the version update which you check using:

node -v

Then reinstall your project using

npm install
