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.
The Node.js project uses an open governance model. 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.
When looking for support, please first search for your question in these venues:
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
- Node.js Slack Community
- To register: nodeslackers.com
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). 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. 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-carbon directory contains the latest Carbon (Node.js 8) release.
Nightly Releases
https://nodejs.org/download/nightly/
Each directory name and filename contains a 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
:
$ 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:
$ 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
the GPG keys of individuals authorized to create releases. To
import the keys:
$ 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:
$ 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.
