Provide environment information

running  `npx --no-install next info` or `npx next info`  will also produce this error `performance is not defined`

Hello! I was getting the same error and i think the problem was having an old version of node installed. I updated node to version 20.9.0 and it started working. You have v14.21.3, maybe you are having the same issue. Hope this helps

Hey, i have the same issue.

node version : v18.18.2
next version : 13.5.6
pnpm version: 7.33.6

try the latest node

That update node can resolve this problem. They have said that nextjs depend on Node.js 18.17 or later on the document. I didn’t notice it!

Please use node v18, It works on it.
