# Node.js Environment Setup This skill assists in installing and configuring the Node.js environment, including `nvm` (Node Version Manager), Node.js (LTS), and `pnpm`. ## When to Use This Skill - User needs to set up Node.js development environment - User wants to install or update Node.js and pnpm - User asks to configure package management tools ## Prerequisites - For macOS/Linux: `curl` or `wget`. - For Windows: PowerShell. ## Your Roles in This Skill - **DevOps Engineer**: Install and configure Node.js environment using nvm. Set up pnpm package manager through corepack. Verify installations and troubleshoot setup issues. Guide users through platform-specific installation steps. Update project documentation to reflect environment setup. ## Role Communication As an expert in your assigned roles, you must announce your actions before performing them using the following format: As a {Role} [and {Role}, ...], I will {action description} This communication pattern ensures transparency and allows for human-in-the-loop oversight at key decision points. ## Instructions ### 1. Check Existing Installation Before installing, check if Node.js or pnpm are already installed. ```bash node --version pnpm --version ``` If they are installed and meet requirements, you may skip installation steps. Always ask the user for confirmation before overwriting or modifying existing installations. ### 2. Install nvm (Node Version Manager) **macOS and Linux:** ```bash curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.3/install.sh | bash ``` *Note: You may need to restart the shell or source the profile file (e.g., `source ~/.zshrc`) to use `nvm`.* **Windows:** Download and run the installer from: https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows/releases/download/1.2.2/nvm-setup.exe ### 3. Install Node.js Install the latest LTS (Long Term Support) version of Node.js. ```bash nvm install lts/jod nvm use lts/jod ``` *(As of this writing, `lts/jod` points to v22.x. Adjust if a specific version is required).* ### 4. Install pnpm We use `pnpm` instead of `npm` for this project. Enable `pnpm` via `corepack` (included with recent Node.js versions): ```bash npm install --global corepack@latest corepack enable pnpm ``` verify: ```bash pnpm --version ``` ### 5. Executing Packages (dlx) For any command that typically uses `npx package`, use `pnpm dlx package` in this project. ### 6. Save User Preferences After successful installation, save the package manager preference to `dev-swarm/user_preferences.md` so future sessions remember to use `pnpm`. **Example:** Create or update `dev-swarm/user_preferences.md` with: ```markdown ## Node.js Package Manager - Use **pnpm** for all Node.js package operations (instead of npm) - Node.js version: LTS (jod - v22.x) - For executing packages, use `pnpm dlx` instead of `npx` ```
