# Node.js (Node.js)

The program that lets your computer run JavaScript and TypeScript outside a browser, powering Next.js and your development tools.

**Example:** For example, during one-time setup your agent checks `node --version` to make sure Node.js 22.20 or newer is installed on your computer.
