title: Installing Node.js
order: 20

Now we will use `nvm` to install Node.js. Run the following command:

```bash
nvm install lts/hydrogen
```

This will install the so-called LTS version of Node.js 18 on your system.

LTS versions -- short for Long Term Support -- are good Node.js versions
to use because they are stable and supported for a long time.

feat: Flat import of markdown repo This is a flat (without history) import of (some of) the content from our markdown module. We've imported this without history because the repo contains our blog posts and showcases posts content prior to porting them to strapi. Since this contains many images, it would balloon the size of this repo to import the full history. Instead, please refer to the history of the (archived) markdown repo at: https://github.com/freesewing/markdown 2021-08-25 16:09:31 +02:00
