## Custom Source ## Custom Mirror
If you would like to use a different Node.js mirror which has the same layout as the default <https://nodejs.org/dist/>, you can define `N_NODE_MIRROR`. If you would like to use a different Node.js mirror which has the same layout as the default <https://nodejs.org/dist/>, you can define `N_NODE_MIRROR`.
The most common example is from users in China who can define:
One example is for users in China who can define:
export N_NODE_MIRROR=https://npmmirror.com/mirrors/node export N_NODE_MIRROR=https://npmmirror.com/mirrors/node
Another example is the Node.js [unofficial-builds project](https://github.com/nodejs/unofficial-builds/) which has downloads for some platforms not made available officially, such as armv6l (Raspberry Pi) and 32-bit x86.
export N_NODE_MIRROR=https://unofficial-builds.nodejs.org/download/release
You may need to specify the architecture explicitly if not autodetected by `n`, such as using `musl` `libc` on Alpine:
export N_NODE_MIRROR=https://unofficial-builds.nodejs.org/download/release
apk add bash curl libstdc++
n --arch x64-musl install lts
If the custom mirror requires authentication you can add the [url-encoded](https://urlencode.org) username and password into the URL. e.g. If the custom mirror requires authentication you can add the [url-encoded](https://urlencode.org) username and password into the URL. e.g.
