NodeJS

Install and manage Node.js locally (Windows, macOS, Linux) using an installer, package manager, or version manager.

🧾 Overview

Node.js runs JavaScript outside the browser for CLIs, APIs, workers, scheduled tasks, and real‑time services. Local installation lets you:

• Install dependencies (npm, pnpm, or Yarn)

• Run and debug before deploying to Discloud

• Prepare builds or bundles where needed
