I have this error when I write

npm start

command in VSCode Terminal:

Error: Could not find a production build in the 'E:\React-Practis\nextjs-project2.next' directory. Try building your app with 'next build' before starting the production server."

How can I resolve this error?

  • Please share what's written in scripts of package.json for npm start – Servesh Chaturvedi Sep 04 '22 at 14:15

    You have to execute `npm run build` before executing `npm run start`, because `npm run start` will execute the build output inside `.next` folder. If you want to run in development environment, you may want to try `npm run dev` instead. – dave.tdv Sep 04 '22 at 14:19
  • Please provide enough code so others can better understand or reproduce the problem. – Community Sep 04 '22 at 22:18
