Hello,

I guess I'm the only one who don't understand but why not having nodejs on Pypi ? There are old and unofficial package but why not a recent official one?

Best regards,

Why do you want node.js in Pypi ? Because it's a python package registry and node.js isn't python lib.
So i didn't what do you mean.

Hello @AugustinMauroy . How do you explain there is an old version of nodejes in pypi? https://pypi.org/project/nodejs/

This is not official from Node.js as far as I know, and why did we want to upload it to PyPI? What would be its use case?

Hi Simon,

Node.js is not available on PyPI because PyPI is specifically designed for Python packages, whereas Node.js is a standalone JavaScript runtime. Typically, programming languages and runtimes like Node.js are distributed through their own package managers, such as:

nvm (Node Version Manager) – For managing Node.js versions easily.
Official installers – Available from nodejs.org.
Package managers – Like brew (macOS), apt (Linux), or choco (Windows).
Unofficial and outdated Node.js packages on PyPI might have existed for specific use cases, but an official version isn't necessary because Python and JavaScript ecosystems are separate, with their own dedicated tools for package management.

Are you looking for a specific use case where having Node.js on PyPI would be beneficial?

As said in the comments above, Node.js is not available on PyPI. The only official ways to install Node.js are listed on our Downloads page
