Hello @hayes.ryan83 Are you trying to install Prismic's essential slices? If so, you need to run `$ prismic sm --setup`. It will set up a Next.js project with SliceMachine. Find complete detail in this [article](https://prismic.io/docs/technologies/add-the-dev-tools-to-an-existing-project-nextjs). Thanks, Priyanka ---
