# Setup Node.js with NVM
|
|
|
|
Node.js is a pre-requisite to run both the Hexabot CLI and a Hexabot project since the API is built on NestJS. Using [NVM](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) (Node Version Manager) simplifies managing the required Node.js version. When creating a new Hexabot project, the structure includes source folders like **extensions** to add custom plugins, helpers and channels, making Node.js essential tool for smooth development and customization.

|
If you are new to NVM, please follow these steps to install:
|
|
|
|
1. Update the system:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt update
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Install NVM:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.1/install.sh | bash
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Close and reopen your terminal to start using nvm or run the following to use it now:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
|
|
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
|
|
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" # This loads nvm bash_completion
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Verify the NVM installation:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
nvm --version
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. Install Node.js version 18.17.0 or higher :
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
nvm install 18.17.0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
5. Check default Node.js version:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
node --version
|
|
```
