System Requirements
| Requirement | Minimum version | Notes |

Check Your Versions
Run these commands in your terminal to confirm what you have installed:node --version returns a version below v20.0.0, or if the command is not found, install or upgrade Node.js before continuing.
Installing Node.js
Download the current LTS release of Node.js from nodejs.org. The installer includes npm, so you won’t need to install it separately.Even when using
npx to run Jamdesk without a global install — for example, npx jamdesk dev — Node.js v20.0.0 or later is still required. The npx flag only skips the global installation step; it does not bundle its own Node.js runtime.
