Install Node.js

Contributing to React Strict DOM requires Node.js and npm. The following guide will help you determine if you have the correct versions installed and available.

Version requirements​

RSD currently requires Node.js version >=20.11 and npm version >=10 be installed.

Check the current version of Node.js and npm on your development machine. If they do not match the above requirements, you will need to update your installations.

$ node --version
v20.17.0
$ npm --version
10.8.2

Download​

Download Node.js (LTS) and install it if you don't have the appropriate versions installed. (npm will be installed at the same time.)

Make sure the location of the newly-installed version of Node.js matches the one in your PATH, for example:

$ which node
/usr/local/bin/node

You will now be able to run the tasks and workflows needed to contribute.
