Manage Node.js

Manage Node.js installations, switch runtimes, and configure package managers.

Node.js Version Manager

Burrow features a lightweight Node.js version manager to handle frontend asset compilation and tooling.

Multi-Version Management

Download and install multiple Node.js versions directly to %USERPROFILE%\.burrow\node\{version}\. Switch the active version globally or per project. Burrow updates path directories dynamically, pointing shell commands to the correct version of node, npm, npx, and yarn.

This ensures frontend build steps (such as npm run dev or vite build) always run using the exact Node.js runtime assigned to the site.
