Question
Which Node.js versions are available for installation in Plesk for Linux?
Answer
Typically, only one of the most recent Node.js versions is available in Plesk, along with several older versions that are still maintained under long-term support (LTS), that are still within their security support period. Additional versions not included in the available list can be installed manually with the guidance of the article.
At the time of the last update of this article, they are the following:
- Node.js 25
- Node.js 22
- Node.js 20
- Node.js 18
Note: Node.js 18 (and higher) is compatible only with Linux distributions based on and using glibc 2.28 or later (CentOS/CloudLinux/RHEL 7 go only up to glibc 2.17). To check the current version on your OS, you may use the following command:
# [root@server ~]# ldd --version
ldd (GNU libc) 2.17
Additional Information
The Node.js extension now automatically installs and updates supported LTS versions.
There is a scheduled task that checks and installs available updates weekly. Once a new major LTS (or current) version appears, it will be installed by this task.
To turn off this task, add the following lines to /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/panel.ini (Plesk for Linux):
CONFIG_TEXT: [ext-nodejs]
updateVersionsAutomatically = false
