How to add pagination to a Wordpress Custom Post.

Hi, I'm using the plugin Custom Post Types recomended by Zac on "How to make a wordpress theme" Course. (I'm also using everything as he indicate on the course, because I' new in wordpress development, and because he pointed out some best practices.)

The thing is I'm having trouble with adding a pagination to the custom post types, I search on google and I try several solutions for this, but non of them seems to fit on my project. Any idea how to add the pagination to a custom post on a theme based on Zac's course?

Alex, What does your template for the custom post look like? It should just be a matter of add this after your while loop:

<nav>
    <?php previous_posts_link('&laquo; Newer') ?>
    <?php next_posts_link('Older &raquo;') ?>
</nav>

  <li><a href="#" aria-label="Page 2">2</a></li>
  <li><a href="#" aria-label="Page 3">3</a></li>
