Turbopack Error: Next.js package not found

Error message:

Turbopack Error: Next.js package not found

Turbopack needs the next package — make sure it’s in your package.json.
Run npm install next to add it, or clean with rm -rf node_modules && npm install if already listed.
Ensure you're using a compatible version (next@13+) for Turbopack support.
I also found Turbopack very unstable in complex code usecases.

Hi! I've seen this error before .. try following options -

First, try clearing your cache and reinstalling:

# Clear everything
rm -rf node_modules .next
rm package-lock.json  # or yarn.lock/pnpm-lock.yaml

# Reinstall
npm install

Common Causes & Solutions

1. Missing or Corrupted Next.js Installation

# Verify Next.js is installed
npm list next

# Reinstall if needed
npm install next@latest react@latest react-dom@latest

2. Turbopack Compatibility Issue

If the error persists, try running without Turbopack while we troubleshoot:

next dev  # instead of next dev --turbo

3. Package Manager Conflicts

Make sure you're using only ONE package manager:

# If using npm
rm yarn.lock pnpm-lock.yaml

# If using yarn
rm package-lock.json pnpm-lock.yaml

# If using pnpm
rm package-lock.json yarn.lock

4. Node Version

Ensure you're using Node.js 18.17 or later:

node --version

5. Monorepo Setup

If you're in a monorepo, ensure Next.js is properly hoisted or installed in your workspace:

# For npm workspaces
npm install next@latest -w your-app-name

# For yarn workspaces
yarn workspace your-app-name add next@latest

Please share:

1. Your package.json dependencies
2. Node.js version (node --version)
3. Package manager and version
4. Whether you're using a monorepo

we can look at a more specific solution. Hope this helps!
