Operation Details
Node.Install
source
Install Node.js globally in the container. Skips installation if already present (for warm containers). Calling this method disables automatic Node.js installation for subsequent npm operations. Note: Npm operations (Ci, Install, Run, Test, Build) automatically install Node.js if not present.
Node.Install(); // Installs Node.js v22 (current LTS)
Node.Install("20"); // Installs Node.js v20Overview
The Node operations allow you to install Node.js globally in Ubuntu-based containers. This is useful when using the default ubuntu:22.04 image, which doesn’t include Node.js pre-installed.
For warm containers, the installation is skipped if Node.js is already installed at the correct major version, making subsequent builds fast.
Example
Build a static website with Node.js.
// Install Node.js (includes npm)
Node.Install();
// Install dependencies
Npm.Install();
// Build the site
Npm.Build();Version Support
You can specify the Node.js major version to install:
// Install Node.js 20 (previous LTS)
Node.Install("20");
// Install Node.js 22 (current LTS, default)
Node.Install("22");
// Or use default (currently v22)
Node.Install();
