Error "Command 'next' not found" on Linux-Mint upon executing 'next dev' after first install

Question

I just installed NextJS 10.2 on my PC running Linux Mint 20.1 (Linux Kernel 5.4.0-73-generic). Upon executing next dev, I'm getting the following error.

Command 'next' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install mailutils-mh # version 1:3.7-2.1, or
sudo apt install mmh # version 0.4-2
sudo apt install nmh # version 1.7.1-6

package.json

{
  "name": "new-next-app",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "next dev",
    "build": "next build",
    "start": "next start"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "next": "10.2.0",
    "react": "17.0.2",
    "react-dom": "17.0.2"
  }
}

I also ran sudo apt install mailutils-mh andd tried restarting the server but to no avail. What could be the problem?

You didn't need to install a random mail utility package.

Instead, if you're using npm, do

npm start dev

or if you're using yarn, do

yarn dev

.

This lets npm or yarn take care of correcting your PATH so your node_modules/.bin/ is there (and that's where the next script lives).
