On IBM i
Before Installing Profound.js
You must first install Node.js 12 (or a later stable release) to your IBM i.
After a stable Node.js release (version 12 to 14) is installed to your IBM i, you may continue with installing Profound.js.
Node.js Stable Releases
In general, even-numbered releases will become stable LTS releases, while odd-numbered releases can be considered as unstable development releases. For this reason, we work on supporting even-numbered releases and cannot guarantee compatibility for odd-numbered releases.
Node.js 14 and NPM 7 are the newest versions that are currently supported by Profound Logic. We are working on supporting the latest versions of both and will notify our users when the changes have been made. However, in the meantime, if you are using a newer version, you can downgrade with the command ‘npm install -g npm@6.14.12’.
On Linux, Windows, and other systems
If you are installing Profound.js on a local PC or on a server other than IBM i, follow these steps:
- Install Node.js from www.nodejs.org.
- Proceed to install Profound.js.
