Next.js: --- Error: Cannot find module 'next' --- on custome-server-express example project

[YarivGilad]

trying to install and run the custome-server-express example project
getting -- Error: Cannot find module 'next' -- on server.js line 2
const next = require('next')

any ideas?

I hope you are running from the local next repo.
(Since we've not shipped this yet)

Follow these steps:

Go to the next.js local clone

npm i
npm link
cd examples/custome-server-express
npm i
npm link next
npm start

Thank you, that solved it!

[arunoda]

Okay. Let's close this issue.

What do you mean by saying "(Since we've not shipped this yet)" ?
next module is installed why can't I import it?

[Stas-Buzunko]

when is it going to be shipped?

[livoras]

Yeah, same issue here. I am still wondering why I cannot import the 'next' module even it's in my local node_modules/ .

Use the beta npm install next@beta --save
