Univer Node.js Backend

Run Univer without browser UI for data, document, presentation, Base, Board, and PDF automation.

Compatibility: Synced to the current Univer and Univer Pro source baseline, 1.0.0-beta.0. Keep every @univerjs/* and @univerjs-pro/* package on exactly the same version. The public OSS headless runtime supports Node.js >=18.17.0; developing the current Univer source checkout requires Node.js >=22.18 and pnpm >=10.

Public setup: Prefer createUniver with @univerjs/preset-sheets-node-core or @univerjs/preset-docs-node-core when either OSS preset fits. createUniverOnNode is the name of an example-local helper in the Univer repositories, not an exported npm API. The other four product hosts currently use manual Pro plugin stacks.
