Kyberis setup commands use npx to run published npm packages without a permanent global install. Operating systems do not include npx by default. Install Node.js with npm first, then verify that npx is available. Kyberis npm tools require Node.js 20 or newer.

​
Check your current install

Run:
If node is missing, the Node.js version is below 20, or npx is missing, install or upgrade Node.js.

​
macOS direct installer

Use the direct installer when you want the standard Node.js package from the Node.js project.
  1. Open the Node.js download page.
  2. Download the macOS installer for the latest LTS release.
  3. Run the installer and accept the defaults.
  4. Open a new terminal window.
  5. Verify the install:
You do not need Xcode command-line tools for the direct Node.js installer. You may still need them later if another npm package builds native extensions.

​
macOS with Homebrew

Use Homebrew when you already manage developer tools with brew. Install Xcode command-line tools first if they are not already installed:
Install Homebrew from brew.sh if brew is not available. Homebrew may print shell setup commands at the end of installation. Run those commands or open a new terminal before continuing. Install Node.js:

​
Windows

Use the Node.js installer when you want the standard Windows setup.
  1. Open the Node.js download page.
  2. Download the Windows installer for the latest LTS release.
  3. Run the installer and keep npm selected.
  4. Open a new PowerShell window.
  5. Verify the install:
If your organization uses Windows Package Manager, you can also install Node.js from PowerShell:
Open a new PowerShell window after installation, then run the verification commands again.

​
Linux

Use your distribution package manager or the install method your organization supports. Make sure the installed Node.js version is 20 or newer. Some long-term-support Linux distributions ship older Node.js packages. On Debian or Ubuntu, check the packaged version first:
If the available version is 20 or newer, install it:
On Fedora, RHEL, or compatible distributions, install Node.js and npm with:
Verify:
If your package manager installs an older Node.js version, use the Node.js download page or your organization’s approved Node.js package source to install Node.js 20 or newer.

​
FreeBSD

Use FreeBSD packages when they provide Node.js 20 or newer. For the current LTS line, install the versioned Node.js and npm packages:
Verify:
If the package repository does not provide Node.js 20 or newer for your FreeBSD release, install a newer Node.js version from ports or from the Node.js download page, following your organization’s normal FreeBSD package policy.
