Deploying your Next.js App

Step 1: Prepare Your App

For static Next.js apps, you need to configure your app to output a static export. Open your next.config.js (or next.config.mjs) file and set the output to export:

const nextConfig = {
  output: 'export',
};

module.exports = nextConfig;

Then, run the build command to generate your static files:

npm run build

After the build completes, your static files will be in the out folder. This is the folder you'll upload to Puter.
