Major Node.js versions enter Current release status for six months, which gives library authors timeto add support for them. After six months, odd-numbered releases (9, 11, etc.) become unsupported,and even-numbered releases (10, 12, etc.) move to Active LTS status and are ready for general use.LTS release status is “long-term support”, which typically guarantees that critical bugs will befixed for a total of 30 months. Production applications should only use Active LTS or MaintenanceLTS releases.
If an even-numbered release above is not marked as LTS, then it has not entered “Active LTS” andis not recommended for Production use.
The End-of-Life date for Node.js 16 was moved forward by seven monthsto coincide with the end of support of OpenSSL 1.1.1 on September 11th, 2023.
More information is available on the Node.js website.
You should be running one of the supported release numbers listed above in the rightmost column.
You can check the version that you are currently using by running:
