'Official' recommended node.js version for MM?

[administrator]

Hi. I’m very new to MagicMirror and have a question regarding which version of Node to use. Working through the manual installation guide it specifies Node v10, however this version goes End of Life this coming Friday.

Is there a more recent agreed recommended version of Node to use with MagicMirror?

@administrator we have not released a new version supported yet…

shouldn’t matter…

if you use my install script it does the whole thing (still on node 10)

see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

Thanks for the response, @sdetweil.

If I understand correctly, then, Node v10 is the current ‘default’ for installing MM, but later versions are probably also fine.

Once v10 goes End of Life next week, we don’t really want anyone to be installing v10 as it will no longer receive security fixes, so ideally we need a later version to be the new default.

@administrator there’s an mm release every 3 months

mm is working with later versions, I’m using node lts in the docker setup which is currently v14 without any problems.

I’ll upgrade to v14. Thanks.

@karsten13 @administrator @sdetweil I have v15.12.0 installed and works like a charm

@lavolp3

v16 works too … the official documentation is now updated and the recommended version there is now v14.
