Other Chromium-based browsers might work, as well. Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge Legacy are **not** supported.

## Node.js compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
OpenSearch Dashboards requires the Node.js runtime binary to run. One is included in the distribution packages available from the [OpenSearch downloads page](https://opensearch.org/downloads.html){:target='\_blank'}.
|
||||
|
||||
OpenSearch Dashboards 2.8.0 and newer can use Node.js versions 14, 16, and 18. The distribution packages for OpenSearch Dashboards 2.10.0 and newer include Node.js 18 and 14 (for backward compatibility).
|
||||
|
||||
To use a Node.js runtime binary other than the ones included in the distribution packages, follow these steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Download and install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download){:target='\_blank'}; the compatible versions are `>=14.20.1 <19`.
|
||||
2. Set the installation path to the `NODE_HOME` or `NODE_OSD_HOME` environment variables.
|
||||
|
||||
- On UNIX, if Node.js is installed to `/usr/local/nodejs` and the runtime binary is `/usr/local/nodejs/bin/node`:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export NODE_HOME=/usr/local/nodejs
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- If Node.js is installed using NVM and the runtime binary is `/Users/user/.nvm/versions/node/v18.19.0/bin/node`:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export NODE_HOME=/Users/user/.nvm/versions/node/v18.19.0
|
||||
# or, if NODE_HOME is used for something else:
|
||||
export NODE_OSD_HOME=/Users/user/.nvm/versions/node/v18.19.0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- On Windows, if Node.js is installed to `C:\Program Files\nodejs` and the runtime binary is `C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe`:
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
set "NODE_HOME=C:\Program Files\nodejs"
|
||||
# or using PowerShell:
|
||||
$Env:NODE_HOME = 'C:\Program Files\nodejs'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Consult your operating system's documentation to make a persistent change to the environment variables.
|
||||
|
||||
The OpenSearch Dashboards start script,`bin/opensearch-dashboards`, searches for the Node.js runtime binary using `NODE_OSD_HOME`,
|
||||
and then `NODE_HOME`, before using the binaries included with the distribution packages. If a usable Node.js runtime binary is not found, the start script will attempt to find one in the system-wide `PATH` before failing.
