npm WARN deprecated inflight@1.0.6: This module is not supported, and leaks memory. Do not use it. Check out lru-cache if you want a good and tested way to coalesce async requests by a key value, which is much more comprehensive and powerful.
npm WARN deprecated rimraf@3.0.2: Rimraf versions prior to v4 are no longer supported
npm WARN deprecated glob@7.2.3: Glob versions prior to v9 are no longer supported
npm WARN deprecated @humanwhocodes/object-schema@2.0.3: Use @eslint/object-schema instead
npm WARN deprecated @humanwhocodes/config-array@0.11.14: Use @eslint/config-array instead

Success! Created apex at /home/anne/prod/apex

Ignoring the deprecated deps for now because, according to DevCodeF1.com Editors, theses msgs are not specific to Next.js and can be safely ignored?

Clone Existing App

git clone [git-repo-url]
cd [git-repo]
npm install
npm install next@latest react@latest react-dom@latest

Cloning and installing also throws deprecated deps msgs.

Run Dev Svr

npm run dev  # URL: http://localhost:3000

First Impressions

Next.js site up and running on dev server with two commands. Next.js and React have lots of documentation and an active support commmunity. Customization and deploy to Vercel with custom domain, is extrememly rapid and flawless. LAMP this is not.
