Introduction

Next.js is a React framework for building full-stack web applications. You use React Components to build user interfaces, and Next.js for additional features and optimizations.

Step 1: Nodejs Installation

Make sure nodejs is installed in your computer. Go to nodejs website to install if you don’t have it.


Step 3: Nextjs Docs

Go to to Nextjs website docs and explore the installation process. Alternatively, you can run this code on your terminal.

Terminal

npx create-next-app@latest

Conclusion

Under the hood, Next.js also abstracts and automatically configures tooling needed for React, like bundling, compiling, and more. This allows you to focus on building your application instead of spending time with configuration.
