Hello Everyone,

I created a next application using npx create-next-app command but I'm unable to start the server.
I get the following error each time I run npm start:

Cannot find module 'stream/web'

I have tried to the delete the node_modules file and re-install it but that didn't help.

Please how can I fix the error.

Thanks

If you're trying to run in dev mode, use npm run dev, otherwise, first run npm run build then npm run start
Kingsley IbeOP
npm run build and npm run dev throw same error

No, the only code I have currently is the preinstall files by npx create-next-app

try downgrading next version to 13.4.8

Also clear npm cache - npm cache clean --force

Umm strange
npm i @types/node

Okay. I'm not sure what is causing this error then. You can retry the same process in another drive.
