Node.js bootstrap

The recommended CLI tools (Codex / Claude Code / Gemini CLI / OpenCode / Hermes) need Node.js v22+. Skip this page if you already have a current LTS.

One-line installer

Detects your current Node version and walks you through installing the latest LTS only when needed (Homebrew on macOS, NodeSource on Linux, winget / Chocolatey on Windows). It does not touch any PrimeRouter configuration.

Windows PowerShell

irm https://primerouter.ai/install/nodejs.ps1 | iex

macOS / Linux / WSL

curl -fsSL https://primerouter.ai/install/nodejs.sh | bash

You'll be asked before anything is installed

The script asks y/N before running any package manager. It exits early when Node v22+ is already detected.

Fallback: manual install

Install Node.js LTS by hand

• macOS: brew install node or grab the LTS .pkg from nodejs.org
• Linux: follow NodeSource's instructions
• Windows: download the .msi from nodejs.org

Verify:

node -v   # expect v22.x.x or higher
npm -v
