Node.js is a tool for developing and running web servers written in JavaScript (read more). To develop Sanity Studios, you must have Node.js installed on your computer. Sanity Studio v6 requires Node.js 22.12 or later.

Node.js maintains a download page with installers and package-manager instructions for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Notes on installing Node.js on macOS: We recommend installing Node.js using Homebrew. Follow this guide to get Homebrew, then run brew install node.
