ZEIT Now - command doesn't work for NextJS - vercel

Question

I'm trying to deploy this example NextJS app, but whenever I run the now command, I get the following error:
At C:\Users\Ben\AppData\Local\Yarn\bin\now.ps1:5 char:13
+ *CYGWIN*) basedir=`cygpath -w "$basedir"`;;
+ ~
Unexpected token ')' in expression or statement.

I followed all the steps by creating a now.json and next.config.js file, but I'm still unsuccessful with my attempts of deploying this example NextJS app.
To diagnose the issue, I've tried installing now globally by running this command:
yarn global add now
but this didn't help in resolving the issue.
Would there be a step I'm missing? Thanks for the help.
EDIT: btw, I am on a Windows machine and I ran the command on PowerShell.

It was a problem with the package management tool yarn. I uninstalled it from yarn and installed it globally using npm instead.
