Hi, I am trying to add convex to an existing nextjs app. I ran npx project dev and selected create new project. However, now the process seems to hang at Preparing convex functions.. Any ideas why? here is the log, for reference

Any change if you ctrl-c and then try npx convex dev? Could you send us the instance name via private message?

I tried that it and appears to still hang - I will dm you project info

Hey @AndersR have you run npm install convex ?

Nope, I just followed the instructions displayed when clicking create project in the dashboard. However, after installing and re-running the dev command I now get a convex functions ready message. Thanks for the tip!

We’ll fix those instructions, thanks!
