Install Node with NVM ​

Install node version you need

bash
nvm install 20

It should automatically be selected as the active node version. You can also manually switch to it

bash
nvm use 20

You can list all the versions with

bash
nvm ls

And confirm the current node version

bash
node -v
npm -v

Deno ​

Deno is used for publishing packages to JSR

bash
cargo binstall deno

WARNING

Deno doesn't have official release on GitHub that can be downloaded by cargo-binstall, so a third-party binary is used. If you want to install from source instead (slow to compile)

bash
cargo install deno --locked
