# Node.js Runtimes Dialog > For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2026.3/llms.txt). > **TL;DR** > Required plugins: > > > > JavaScript and TypeScript -  the plugin is bundled with IntelliJ IDEA and enabled by default. > > > > Node.js (only for developing Node.js applications) -  install the plugin on the Settings | Plugins page. The plugin is available only in IntelliJ IDEA with the Ultimate subscription. The following Node.js versions are supported in IntelliJ IDEA 2023.3 and later: * Node.js 22 - the Active Long Term Supported (LTS) version * Node.js 24 - the current version Learn more from [Supported Node.js versions](supported-node-js-versions.html). Use this dialog to configure a [local](developing-node-js-applications.html#ws_node_configure_local_node_interpreter) or [remote](configure-node-js-remote-interpreter.html) Node.js runtime or a [Node.js on Windows Subsystem for Linux](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about). The term local Node.js runtime denotes a Node.js installation on your computer. The term remote Node.js runtime denotes a Node.js installation on a remote host or in a virtual environment. ## Before you start Procedure: 1. Download and install [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/#download). 2. Make sure the Node.js plugin is enabled in the settings. Press `Ctrl+Alt+S` (Windows), `⌘ Comma` (macOS), `⌘ Comma` (IntelliJ IDEA Classic (macOS)), `⌘ Comma` (macOS System Shortcuts), `Ctrl+Alt+S` (XWin), `Ctrl+Alt+S` (GNOME), `Ctrl+Alt+S` (KDE), `Ctrl+Alt+S` (Emacs), `Ctrl+Alt+S` (Sublime Text), `⌘ Comma` (Sublime Text (macOS)), `Ctrl+Alt+S` (Visual Studio), `⌘ Comma` (Visual Studio (macOS)), `Ctrl+Alt+S` (NetBeans), `Ctrl+Alt+S` (Eclipse), `⌘ Comma` (Eclipse (macOS)) to open settings and then select `Plugins`. In the search field, type Node.js. For more information about plugins, refer to [Managing plugins](managing-plugins.html). 3. If you are going to configure a runtime, install the Node.js Remote Interpreter plugin in `Settings | Plugins` as described in [Installing plugins from JetBrains Marketplace](managing-plugins.html#install_plugin_from_repo). ## Open the Node.js Runtimes dialog Do one of the following: Procedure: * Open the Settings dialog (`Ctrl+Alt+S` (Windows), `⌘ Comma` (macOS), `⌘ Comma` (IntelliJ IDEA Classic (macOS)), `⌘ Comma` (macOS System Shortcuts), `Ctrl+Alt+S` (XWin), `Ctrl+Alt+S` (GNOME), `Ctrl+Alt+S` (KDE), `Ctrl+Alt+S` (Emacs), `Ctrl+Alt+S` (Sublime Text), `⌘ Comma` (Sublime Text (macOS)), `Ctrl+Alt+S` (Visual Studio), `⌘ Comma` (Visual Studio (macOS)), `Ctrl+Alt+S` (NetBeans), `Ctrl+Alt+S` (Eclipse), `⌘ Comma` (Eclipse (macOS))) , go to `Languages & Frameworks | JavaScript Runtime`. Make sure that Node.js is selected in the Preferred runtime field. Click ![the Browse button](https://resources.jetbrains.com/help/img/idea/2026.3/app.general.ellipsis.svg) next to the Node runtime field. ![Add runtime - Browse button](https://resources.jetbrains.com/help/img/idea/2026.3/ws_node_interpreter_from_settings_browse_button.png) * Go to `Run | Edit Configurations`, then select the required Node.js run/debug configuration. For more information, refer to [Working with run/debug configurations](run-debug-configuration.html). In the [Run/Debug Configuration: Node.js dialog](run-debug-configuration-node-js.html), click ![the Browse button](https://resources.jetbrains.com/help/img/idea/2026.3/app.general.ellipsis.svg) next to the Node runtime field. ![Node.js with Docker: run/debug configuration, configure runtime, select Add Remote](https://resources.jetbrains.com/help/img/idea/2026.3/ws_node_docker_run_configuration_add_remote.png) ## Configure Node.js runtimes The Node.js Runtimes dialog lists all the configured local, WSL, and remote Node.js runtimes that are available in the current context. You can open the dialog [from the Node.js page](#ws_node_interpreters_dialog_open_from_settings) or [from a Node .js run configuration](#ws_node_interpreters_dialog_open_from_rc). Use ![the Add button](https://resources.jetbrains.com/help/img/idea/2026.3/app.expui.general.add.svg), ![the Remove button](https://resources.jetbrains.com/help/img/idea/2026.3/app.expui.general.remove.svg), and ![the Edit button](https://resources.jetbrains.com/help/img/idea/2026.3/app.expui.general.edit.svg) to add and remove existing Node.js configurations as well as create new ones based on their settings. | ![the Add button](https://resources.jetbrains.com/help/img/idea/2026.3/app.expui.general.add.svg) | Add | Click this button to add a new Node.js runtime to the list and select Add Local, Add Remote, or Add WSL from the list. Depending on your choice, select the relevant local Node.js installation, or configure a remote runtime in the [Configure Node.js Remote Runtime dialog](configure-node-js-remote-interpreter.html), or specify the Linux distribution you’re using and the path to Node.js in the Add WSL Node Runtime dialog. | | ![the Remove button](https://resources.jetbrains.com/help/img/idea/2026.3/app.expui.general.remove.svg) | Delete | Click this button to remove the selected runtime from the list. | | ![the Edit button](https://resources.jetbrains.com/help/img/idea/2026.3/app.expui.general.edit.svg) | Edit | Click this button to create a new runtime with the settings copied from the selected one. | ## See also ### Language and Framework-Specific Guidelines [Node.js](developing-node-js-applications.html) ### Reference [JavaScript Runtimes](javascript-runtime.html)
