Install Homebrew (macOS) and Node.js with npm on macOS, Linux or Windows, so npx, npm install -g and the CLIs that need them work. Use when node, npm or npx is missing or "command not found", or before setup-cloudflare, setup-convex, setup-lumail or setup-dev-browser.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
Get a working Node.js LTS with `npm` and `npx` for the current user. Do it yourself and only ask the user for what needs a human. Talk to them in their language, short messages, no jargon (never say "PATH", "prefix" or "LTS" to them). If you got this skill from a link instead of a local folder, install nothing else from the repo: download a file it links only when a step needs it, with `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Melvynx/ai-maxxing-skills/main/skills/setup-node/<path> -o <scratch>/<file>` (for example `scripts/install-node.sh`), and read another skill it names only when you reach it, from `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Melvynx/ai-maxxing-skills/main/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md`. 1. Check first: if `node --version` prints v20 or higher and `npm --version` works, say so and stop. 2. Find the OS with `uname -s` (`Darwin` is macOS, `Linux` is Linux); if it fails or PowerShell answers, it is Windows. …

How to install
mdr add melvynx/ai-maxxing-skills/setup-node@sha256:d060c40713371dfbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.81ed9c7, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
