Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine. For
more information on using Node.js, see the
[Node.js Website][].

The Node.js project is supported by the
[Node.js Foundation](https://nodejs.org/en/foundation/). Contributions,
policies, and releases are managed under an
[open governance model](./GOVERNANCE.md).

**This project is bound by a [Code of Conduct][].**

## Support

Node.js contributors have limited availability to address general support
questions. Please make sure you are using a [currently-supported version of
Node.js](https://github.com/nodejs/Release#release-schedule).

When looking for support, please first search for your question in these venues:

* [Node.js Website][]
* [Node.js Help][]
* [Open or closed issues in the Node.js GitHub organization](https://github.com/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=sort%3Aupdated-desc+org%3Anodejs+is%3Aissue)

If you didn't find an answer in one of the official resources above, you can
search these unofficial resources:

* [Questions tagged 'node.js' on StackOverflow][]
* [#node.js channel on chat.freenode.net][]. See <http://nodeirc.info/> for more
  information.
* [Node.js Discord Community](https://discordapp.com/invite/v7rrPdE)
* [Node.js Slack Community](https://node-js.slack.com/): Visit
  [nodeslackers.com](http://www.nodeslackers.com/) to register.

GitHub issues are meant for tracking enhancements and bugs, not general support.

Remember, libre != gratis; the open source license grants you the freedom to use
and modify, but not commitments of other people's time. Please be respectful,
and set your expectations accordingly.

## Release Types

The Node.js project maintains multiple types of releases:

* **Current**: Released from active development branches of this repository,
  versioned by [SemVer](https://semver.org) and signed by a member of the
  [Release Team](#release-team).
  Code for Current releases is organized in this repository by major version
  number. For example: [v4.x](https://github.com/nodejs/node/tree/v4.x).
  The major version number of Current releases will increment every 6 months
  allowing for breaking changes to be introduced. This happens in April and
  October every year. Current release lines beginning in October each year have
  a maximum support life of 8 months. Current release lines beginning in April
  each year will convert to LTS (see below) after 6 months and receive further
  support for 30 months.
* **LTS**: Releases that receive Long-term Support, with a focus on stability
  and security. Every second Current release line (major version) will become an
  LTS line and receive 18 months of _Active LTS_ support and a further 12
  months of _Maintenance_. LTS release lines are given alphabetically
  ordered codenames, beginning with v4 Argon. LTS releases are less frequent
  and will attempt to maintain consistent major and minor version numbers,
  only incrementing patch version numbers. There are no breaking changes or
  feature additions, except in some special circumstances.
* **Nightly**: Versions of code in this repository on the current Current
  branch, automatically built every 24-hours where changes exist. Use with
  caution.

More information can be found in the [LTS README](https://github.com/nodejs/LTS/).

### Download

Binaries, installers, and source tarballs are available at
<https://nodejs.org>.

#### Current and LTS Releases
**Current** and **LTS** releases are available at
<https://nodejs.org/download/release/>, listed under their version strings.
The [latest](https://nodejs.org/download/release/latest/) directory is an
alias for the latest Current release. The latest LTS release from an LTS
line is available in the form: latest-_codename_. For example:
<https://nodejs.org/download/release/latest-argon>.

#### Nightly Releases
**Nightly** builds are available at
<https://nodejs.org/download/nightly/>, listed under their version
string which includes their date (in UTC time) and the commit SHA at
the HEAD of the release.

#### API Documentation
**API documentation** is available in each release and nightly
directory under _docs_. <https://nodejs.org/api/> points to the API
documentation of the latest stable version.

### Verifying Binaries

Current, LTS, and Nightly download directories all contain a SHASUMS256.txt
file that lists the SHA checksums for each file available for
download.

The SHASUMS256.txt can be downloaded using `curl`.

```console
$ curl -O https://nodejs.org/dist/vx.y.z/SHASUMS256.txt
```

To check that a downloaded file matches the checksum, run
it through `sha256sum` with a command such as:

```console
$ grep node-vx.y.z.tar.gz SHASUMS256.txt | sha256sum -c -
```

Current and LTS releases (but not Nightlies) also have the GPG detached
signature of SHASUMS256.txt available as SHASUMS256.txt.sig. You can use `gpg`
to verify that SHASUMS256.txt has not been tampered with.

To verify SHASUMS256.txt has not been altered, you will first need to import
all of the GPG keys of individuals authorized to create releases. They are
listed at the bottom of this README under [Release Team](#release-team).
Use a command such as this to import the keys:

```console
$ gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys DD8F2338BAE7501E3DD5AC78C273792F7D83545D
```

See the bottom of this README for a full script to import active release keys.

Next, download the SHASUMS256.txt.sig for the release:

```console
$ curl -O https://nodejs.org/dist/vx.y.z/SHASUMS256.txt.sig
```

After downloading the appropriate SHASUMS256.txt and SHASUMS256.txt.sig files,
you can then use `gpg --verify SHASUMS256.txt.sig SHASUMS256.txt` to verify
that the file has been signed by an authorized member of the Node.js team.

Once verified, use the SHASUMS256.txt file to get the checksum for
the binary verification command above.

## Building Node.js

See [BUILDING.md](BUILDING.md) for instructions on how to build
Node.js from source. The document also contains a list of
officially supported platforms.

## Security

Security flaws in Node.js should be reported by emailing security@nodejs.org.
Please do not disclose security bugs publicly until they have been handled by
the security team.

Your email will be acknowledged within 24 hours, and you will receive a more
detailed response to your email within 48 hours indicating the next steps in
handling your report.

There are no hard and fast rules to determine if a bug is worth reporting as
a security issue. The general rule is an issue worth reporting should allow an
attacker to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of the
Node.js application or its system for which the attacker does not already have
the capability.

To illustrate the point, here are some examples of past issues and what the
Security Response Team thinks of them. When in doubt, however, please do send
us a report nonetheless.


### Public disclosure preferred

- [#14519](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/14519): _Internal domain
  function can be used to cause segfaults_. Causing program termination using
  either the public JavaScript APIs or the private bindings layer APIs requires
  the ability to execute arbitrary JavaScript code, which is already the highest
  level of privilege possible.

- [#12141](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/12141): _buffer: zero fill
  Buffer(num) by default_. The buffer constructor behavior was documented,
  but found to be prone to [mis-use](https://snyk.io/blog/exploiting-buffer/).
  It has since been changed, but despite much debate, was not considered misuse
  prone enough to justify fixing in older release lines and breaking our
  API stability contract.

### Private disclosure preferred

- [CVE-2016-7099](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/september-2016-security-releases/):
  _Fix invalid wildcard certificate validation check_. This is a high severity
  defect that would allow a malicious TLS server to serve an invalid wildcard
  certificate for its hostname and be improperly validated by a Node.js client.

- [#5507](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5507): _Fix a defect that makes
  the CacheBleed Attack possible_. Many, though not all, OpenSSL vulnerabilities
  in the TLS/SSL protocols also affect Node.js.

- [CVE-2016-2216](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/february-2016-security-releases/):
  _Fix defects in HTTP header parsing for requests and responses that can allow
  response splitting_. While the impact of this vulnerability is application and
  network dependent, it is remotely exploitable in the HTTP protocol.

When in doubt, please do send us a report.


## Current Project Team Members

The Node.js project team comprises a group of core collaborators and a sub-group
that forms the _Technical Steering Committee_ (TSC) which governs the project.
For more information about the governance of the Node.js project, see
