This is my first time using Next.js and I wanted to ask if it is recommended that you should update everytime. If so, how do I update my project?

@DylanDev To update your Next.js project to the latest version you would run "npm install next@latest" in your terminal. You may need to also update other packages such as your react or react-dom packages.

well, if it's your personal project - you can!
but if it's a company project wait until it becomes real "stable"

When you say id have to update those, do I just run npm i after running npm install next@latest

To update react and react-dom, you would type “npm install react@latest” “npm install react-dom@latest”.
Npm i and npm install are the same. Npm i is short for npm install.
