To run, you just did 'npm start', and a server on localhost started, and your code ran.</p> <p>This time I installed node and npm separately, and checked they worked, but still no luck. </p> <p>There must be a way to run the code. They mention next.js, well on in the book. I tried that, successfully, with the next.js example code, but couldn't see how to do it with the Packt examples.</p> <p>Help!</p> <p>PS -- I'm new to DEV, this is my first post, I see the advice to add tags, but not how to do it. Help again:-(...</p>
