Node.js in Breadstick

Breadstick note

This page is Debian's own Node.js package, Node.js 20 in Debian 13. The Development bundle on the Recommended apps screen sets up nvm, the Node.js version manager, instead.

Breadstick runs Debian's own nodejs package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so Node.js should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.

Commands in the package

node
nodejs

Type one in Breadstick's Terminal to run it.

Interpreters and runtimes run on the device's own ARM64 processor, from Debian's own packages. Keep projects in your Linux home folder, which is much faster than Android's shared folders for trees of many small files. Libraries with compiled parts need an ARM64 Linux build, or the tools to build one on the device. More in the docs: The Terminal.

About Node.js

From Debian's package description

Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.
Node.js is bundled with several useful libraries to handle server tasks:
System, Events, Standard I/O, Modules, Timers, Child Processes, POSIX, HTTP, Multipart Parsing, TCP, DNS, Assert, Path, URL, Query Strings.

From Debian's description of the nodejs package, under that package's license.
