Set Up the Node Stack Safely
Installing runtimes modifies the user's workstation and shell profile. Explain the selected toolchain first and wait for confirmation before executing any installation command. Never pipe a remote download directly into a shell.
Expo SDK 54 baseline
- Use a currently supported Node 20.19+ runtime, then verify the project's exact Expo SDK compatibility.
- Use the package manager already approved for the project. Prefer
npx expo installfor Expo SDK-compatible dependencies. - Keep runtime configuration local to the workstation; never place access tokens or private registry credentials in project source.
Recommended installation paths
Choose one owner-approved package-manager or signed-installer path for the user's operating system:
| Tool | Safer default |
|---|---|
| Node version manager | A system package manager or the official release artifact after validating its published checksum/signature |
| pnpm | Corepack or the approved system package manager |
| Bun | The approved system package manager or a verified official release artifact |
