Getting Started with Next.js
Once your Nextjs server has been deployed, the following links explain how to connect to a Linux VM:
Â
- How to connect to a Linux VM on Azure
- How to connect to a Linux VM on AWS
- How to connect to a Linux VM on GCP
Â
Once connected and logged in, the following section explains how to start using Next.js and create your first project.
Create a new Next.js Application
Once logged in, you’re ready to create your Next.js application. First we will create a directory where your application will run from with the following command. In my example my app is called cisapp
npx create-next-app cisapp
You will be presented with some installation questions. Select Yes or No depending on your requirements.
Once the setup has completed, lets open the new application and install any dependencies:
cd cisapp
npm install
Now lets start the development server:
npm run dev
This starts the Next.js development server on http://ServerIPAddress:3000.
Â
Once the server is running, you should see a page saying “Welcome to Next.js!” when you visit the URL.
Build Nextjs for Production
Once your application is ready for production, you can build and export the static assets.
Â
Run the following command to build the application:
npm run build
After the build process is complete, start the server:
npm start
Your Next.js application is now optimized and ready to run in production.
