Getting Started with Next.js

Next.js is a powerful React framework for building server-side rendered and static websites. In this guide, we'll walk through the process of setting up a new Next.js project and exploring its main features.

Installation

To get started, you'll need to have Node.js installed on your machine. You can then create a new Next.js app using the following command:

npx create-next-app@latest

File Structure

Next.js has a file-system based router. Any file inside the pages directory will be treated as a route. For example, pages/about.js will map to the /about route.
