Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine. For
more information on using Node.js, see the [Node.js Website][].

Node.js contributions, policies, and releases are managed under an
[open governance model](./GOVERNANCE.md). The [Node.js Foundation][] provides
support for the project.

**This project is bound by a [Code of Conduct][].**

## Support

Node.js contributors have limited availability to address general support
questions. Please make sure you are using a [currently-supported version of
Node.js](https://github.com/nodejs/Release#release-schedule).

When looking for support, please first search for your question in these venues:

* [Node.js Website][]
* [Node.js Help][]
* [Open or closed issues in the Node.js GitHub organization](https://github.com/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=sort%3Aupdated-desc+org%3Anodejs+is%3Aissue)

If you didn't find an answer in the resources above, try these unofficial
resources:

* [Questions tagged 'node.js' on StackOverflow][]
* [#node.js channel on chat.freenode.net][]. See <http://nodeirc.info/> for more
  information.
* [Node.js Discord Community](https://discordapp.com/invite/v7rrPdE)
* [Node.js Slack Community](https://node-js.slack.com/): Visit
  [nodeslackers.com](http://www.nodeslackers.com/) to register.

GitHub issues are for tracking enhancements and bugs, not general support.

The open source license grants you the freedom to use Node.js. It does not
guarantee commitments of other people's time. Please be respectful and manage
your expectations.

## Release Types 

* **Current**: Under active development. Code for the Current release is in the
  branch for its major version number (for example,
  [v10.x](https://github.com/nodejs/node/tree/v10.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 18 months of _Active LTS_ support and a further 12 months
  of _Maintenance_. LTS release lines have alphabetically-ordered codenames,
  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](https://semver.org). A
member of the [Release Team](#release-team) signs each Current and LTS release.
For more information, see the
[Release README](https://github.com/nodejs/Release).

### 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](https://nodejs.org/download/release/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,
<https://nodejs.org/download/release/latest-carbon> is the latest Carbon
(Node.js version 8) release.

#### Nightly Releases
<https://nodejs.org/download/nightly/>

Listed under their version string which includes their date (in UTC time) and
the commit SHA at the HEAD of the release.

#### 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` file with SHA checksums for the
files.

To download `SHASUMS256.txt` using `curl`:

```console
$ curl -O https://nodejs.org/dist/vx.y.z/SHASUMS256.txt
```

To check that a downloaded file matches the checksum, run
it through `sha256sum` with a command such as:

```console
$ grep node-vx.y.z.tar.gz SHASUMS256.txt | sha256sum -c -
```

For Current and LTS, the GPG detached signature of `SHASUMS256.txt` is in
`SHASUMS256.txt.sig`. You can use it with `gpg` to verify the integrity of
`SHASUM256.txt`. You will first need to import all the GPG keys of individuals
authorized to create releases. They are at the bottom of this README under
[Release Team](#release-team). To import the keys:

```console
$ gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys DD8F2338BAE7501E3DD5AC78C273792F7D83545D
```

See the bottom of this README for a full script to import active release keys.

Next, download the `SHASUMS256.txt.sig` for the release:

```console
$ curl -O https://nodejs.org/dist/vx.y.z/SHASUMS256.txt.sig
```

Then use `gpg --verify SHASUMS256.txt.sig SHASUMS256.txt` to verify
the file's signature.

## Building Node.js

See [BUILDING.md](BUILDING.md) for instructions on how to build Node.js from
source and a list of supported platforms.

## Security

Security flaws in Node.js should be reported by emailing security@nodejs.org.
Please do not disclose security bugs publicly until they have been handled by
the security team.

Your email will be acknowledged within 24 hours, and you will receive a more
detailed response to your email within 48 hours indicating the next steps in
handling your report.

There are no hard and fast rules to determine if a bug is worth reporting as
a security issue. The general rule is an issue worth reporting should allow an
attacker to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of the
Node.js application or its system for which the attacker does not already have
the capability.

To illustrate the point, here are some examples of past issues and what the
Security Response Team thinks of them. When in doubt, however, please do send
us a report nonetheless.


### Public disclosure preferred

- [#14519](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/14519): _Internal domain
  function can be used to cause segfaults_. Causing program termination using
  either the public JavaScript APIs or the private bindings layer APIs requires
  the ability to execute arbitrary JavaScript code, which is already the highest
  level of privilege possible.

- [#12141](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/12141): _buffer: zero fill
  Buffer(num) by default_. The buffer constructor behavior was documented,
  but found to be prone to [mis-use](https://snyk.io/blog/exploiting-buffer/).
  It has since been changed, but despite much debate, was not considered misuse
  prone enough to justify fixing in older release lines and breaking our
  API stability contract.

### Private disclosure preferred

- [CVE-2016-7099](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/september-2016-security-releases/):
  _Fix invalid wildcard certificate validation check_. This is a high severity
  defect that would allow a malicious TLS server to serve an invalid wildcard
  certificate for its hostname and be improperly validated by a Node.js client.

- [#5507](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5507): _Fix a defect that makes
  the CacheBleed Attack possible_. Many, though not all, OpenSSL vulnerabilities
  in the TLS/SSL protocols also affect Node.js.

- [CVE-2016-2216](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/february-2016-security-releases/):
  _Fix defects in HTTP header parsing for requests and responses that can allow
  response splitting_. While the impact of this vulnerability is application and
  network dependent, it is remotely exploitable in the HTTP protocol.

When in doubt, please do send us a report.


## Current Project Team Members

The Node.js project team comprises a group of core collaborators and a sub-group
that forms the _Technical Steering Committee_ (TSC) which governs the project.
For more information about the governance of the Node.js project, see
