Node.js
Using Node.js in Kythia Workspace.
Kythia Workspace provides an automated, seamlessly integrated Node.js environment without the need for manual system configurations.
Installing
Go to Runtimes -> Node.js
Select your desired version from the dropdown menu and click Install
Kythia will download the official Node.js binaries directly to your local environment.
Environment & PATH
Kythia automatically manages the system environment for you. When you activate a specific version of Node.js via the UI, Kythia injects its executable directory directly into your current terminal session's PATH.
This means you can immediately open a terminal within Kythia and run the standard commands (like node, npm, npx) without conflicts or having to restart your computer.
Installation Directory
Your installed Node.js versions are stored safely at:
C:\kythia\runtimes\nodejs\{version}\Version Management
You can install multiple versions of Node.js simultaneously. The Kythia UI allows you to instantly hot-swap between versions for your current workspace session. Simply click the dropdown menu on the Node.js panel, choose a different version, and your terminal environment will update dynamically!
