"npm run dev" works, but "next dev" does not

I'm trying Next for the first time (with npx create-next-app), but I'm not getting the scripts to work. npm run dev works fine, but next dev outputs zsh: command not found: next. Why is this?

I'm on macOS 12.5, M1. Node version 16.13.1.

It works when I use the debug tool in VS Code.

package.json:

{
  "name": "blog-next",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "next dev",
    "build": "next build",
    "start": "next start",
    "lint": "next lint"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "next": "12.2.5",
    "react": "18.2.0",
    "react-dom": "18.2.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "eslint": "8.22.0",
    "eslint-config-next": "12.2.5"
  }
}

In my case, this was caused by running over an outdated Node version (v.14x).

After upgrading Node everything worked as expected (Dec 2023: v.20x).

Make sense in fact that Nextjs releases requires/compatible with a range of NodeJs versions.

Please, update your NodeJs version.

# nvm users (node version manager)
nvm use 20

# node users
npm install -g node
npm install -g npm
