Node.js Overview

Node.js is a free, open-source JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 engine that lets JavaScript run outside the browser, on the server and the command line. It is the foundation for a huge ecosystem of build tools, web servers, and command-line utilities, and it ships with npm, the package manager that installs libraries from the npm registry. The official installer sets up the Node runtime, npm, and the option to add them to the system PATH; an LTS (Long Term Support) line is recommended for production stability. Most front-end build tools, bundlers, and frameworks assume Node is present, so it is a common prerequisite for modern web development. The offline installer is the complete setup and installs without a network connection, which suits developer workstations and build machines. This page links to the official Node.js download.

Node.js Offline Installer FAQ

Should I install the LTS or Current version of Node.js?
For most users and production work, the LTS (Long Term Support) line is recommended because it receives extended maintenance and is more stable. The Current line has the newest features but changes more often. This page links to the official source for both.
Does Node.js come with npm?
Yes. The official Node.js installer includes npm, so you can install packages immediately after setup. On offline machines, packages can be added later from a local registry mirror or a pre-downloaded cache.
