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

Node.js follows semantic versioning.

  • Alpha: Under active development where semver-major changes are allowed. Each October, a new release line (for example, Node.js 27) branches off main and receives Alpha releases (for example, 27.0.0-alpha.0.0.0) for 6 months, then are promoted to Current (see below) each April. Alpha releases are signed, tagged, and tested through CITGM, but their API and ABI may change between releases. They are intended for library authors and CI pipelines, not for production use.
  • Current: Under active development, no semver-major changes allowed. Node.js releases a new major version once a year, in April. Releases stay Current for 6 months, then convert to LTS (see below) each October. Their ABI may change between releases. They are intended for library authors and CI pipelines, not for production use.
  • LTS: Releases under Long Term Support, with a focus on stability and security. Only changes that have been on Alpha or Current release for two weeks can be backported to a typical LTS release. Every major version becomes an LTS release, and receives 30 months of LTS support, for a total of 36 months from its first Current release to End-of-Life. LTS release lines have alphabetically-ordered code names, beginning with Node.js 4 Argon.
  • Nightly: Code from the main branch built every 24-hours when there are changes. Unlike Alpha releases, nightly builds are automated and untested. Use with caution.

Release lines up to and including Node.js 26 follow the previous schedule, where a new major version was released every 6 months and only even-numbered major versions became LTS. See the Node.js release schedule announcement for details.

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 on 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.

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.
