Volta Can also be added as an alternate installation, It is available in AUR

Does not seem like anyone is actively adding to the page, thus this request has been ignored.

It would most likely be better to create a dedicated page for volta, or create a new section for node.js version managers.

I agree and request Volta being officially supported. Siavoshkc (talk) 13:37, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello,

Would anyone be against me moving Node.js#Alternative installations into a dedicated page, or should alternative installations be converted into a list of node version managers, as there is quite a few see #Volta.

This is to clean up Node.js#Installation instead of having both usage of external tools and installation of external tools crammed into a single section.

Personally, I think that alternative installation methods should exist as subheadings under Alternate installations, kind of like rustup in Rust#Installation. I don't think there is enough content to warrant a separate page - so long as headers are used, there should be no issue with feeling crammed. -- CodingKoopa (talk) 01:05, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

npx (bundled with npm ≥5.2) runs Node.js packages without installing them globally. It executes binaries from node_modules/.bin or fetches them temporarily from the npm registry, useful for one‑off commands like npx create-react-app. Egils (talk) 08:54, 7 February 2026 (UTC)
