Hi @tigawanna

This error usually happens when Turbopack can’t find the next package in your project.
Here are the most common causes and fixes:

---

1. Next.js is not installed

Check your package.json to see if next is listed under dependencies.

If it’s missing, install it:

npm install next react react-dom

or, if you use Yarn:

yarn add next react react-dom

---

2. Corrupted dependencies

Sometimes the node_modules folder or the package-lock.json / yarn.lock file gets corrupted.

Try:

rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
npm install

or

rm -rf node_modules yarn.lock
yarn install

---

3. Invalid Next.js version

In your screenshot, Next.js version shows as 0.0.0, which means the package wasn’t recognized.

Make sure you have a valid version in package.json, for example:

"dependencies": {
  "next": "14.2.5",
  "react": "18.3.1",
  "react-dom": "18.3.1"
}

---

4. Wrong command

To start with Turbopack, use:

next dev --turbo

This only works on newer Next.js versions.

Sorry for this, i thought i closed it because i found the issue
I was linking to a local npm package and i remembered turbopack always had an issue with that, switching back to webpack fixed it
