Distributions

distributions is NodeSource’s repository for maintaining installation scripts and binary distributions of Node.js for Linux systems. It provides a reliable way to install and manage Node.js across multiple distributions and versions, including Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS, and Enterprise Linux derivatives. The repository contains setup scripts that configure system repositories and allow users to install Node.js using their package manager, ensuring they always receive secure and up-to-date builds. This project is especially useful for developers and system administrators who need a consistent, trusted source of Node.js binaries beyond what is included in default OS repositories. By streamlining the installation process, it saves time and reduces the complexity of managing different Node.js versions across environments. The repository is actively updated to track new Node.js releases and long-term support (LTS) schedules.
