README.md

Node.js

Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment.

For information on using Node.js, see the Node.js website.

The Node.js project uses an open governance model. The OpenJS Foundation provides support for the project.

Contributors are expected to act in a collaborative manner to move the project forward. We encourage the constructive exchange of contrary opinions and compromise. The TSC reserves the right to limit or block contributors who repeatedly act in ways that discourage, exhaust, or otherwise negatively affect other participants.

This project has a Code of Conduct.

Release types

  • Current: Under active development. Code for the Current release is in the branch for its major version number (for example, v22.x). Node.js releases a new major version every 6 months, allowing for breaking changes. This happens in April and October every year. Releases appearing each October have a support life of 8 months. Releases appearing each April convert to LTS (see below) each October.
  • LTS: Releases that receive Long Term Support, with a focus on stability and security. Every even-numbered major version will become an LTS release. LTS releases receive 12 months of Active LTS support and a further 18 months of Maintenance. LTS release lines have alphabetically-ordered code names, beginning with v4 Argon. There are no breaking changes or feature additions, except in some special circumstances.
  • Nightly: Code from the Current branch built every 24-hours when there are changes. Use with caution.

Current and LTS releases follow semantic versioning. A member of the Release Team signs each Current and LTS release. For more information, see the Release README.

Download

Binaries, installers, and source tarballs are available at https://nodejs.org/en/download/.

Current and LTS releases

https://nodejs.org/download/release/

The latest directory is an alias for the latest Current release. The latest-codename directory is an alias for the latest release from an LTS line. For example, the latest-hydrogen directory contains the latest Hydrogen (Node.js 18) release.

Nightly releases

https://nodejs.org/download/nightly/

Each directory and filename includes the version (e.g., v22.0.0), followed by the UTC date (e.g., 20240424 for April 24, 2024), and the short commit SHA of the HEAD of the release (e.g., ddd0a9e494). For instance, a full directory name might look like v22.0.0-nightly20240424ddd0a9e494.

API documentation

Documentation for the latest Current release is at https://nodejs.org/api/. Version-specific documentation is available in each release directory in the docs subdirectory. Version-specific documentation is also at https://nodejs.org/download/docs/.

Verifying binaries

Download directories contain a SHASUMS256.txt.asc file with SHA checksums for the files and the releaser PGP signature.

You can get a trusted keyring from nodejs/release-keys, e.g. using curl:

curl -fsLo "/path/to/nodejs-keyring.kbx" "https://github.com/nodejs/release-keys/raw/HEAD/gpg/pubring.kbx"

Alternatively, you can import the releaser keys in your default keyring, see Release keys for commands to how to do that.

Then, you can verify the files you've downloaded locally (if you're using your default keyring, pass --keyring="${GNUPGHOME:-~/.gnupg}/pubring.kbx"):

curl -fsO "https://nodejs.org/dist/${VERSION}/SHASUMS256.txt.asc" \
&& gpgv --keyring="/path/to/nodejs-keyring.kbx" --output SHASUMS256.txt < SHASUMS256.txt.asc \
&& shasum --check SHASUMS256.txt --ignore-missing

Release keys

Primary GPG keys for Node.js Releasers (some Releasers sign with subkeys):

You can use the keyring the project maintains at https://github.com/nodejs/release-keys/raw/refs/heads/main/gpg-only-active-keys/pubring.kbx. Alternatively, you can import them from a public key server. Have in mind that the project cannot guarantee the availability of the server nor the keys on that server.

See Verifying binaries for how to use these keys to verify a downloaded file.

Other keys used to sign some previous releases

The project maintains a keyring able to verify all past releases of Node.js at https://github.com/nodejs/release-keys/raw/refs/heads/main/gpg/pubring.kbx.

Security release stewards

When possible, the commitment to take slots in the security release steward rotation is made by companies in order to ensure individuals who act as security stewards have the support and recognition from their employer to be able to prioritize security releases. Security release stewards manage security releases on a rotation basis as outlined in the security release process.
