Verdaccio is a Node.js private and proxy registry. To install it, you need a few basic prerequisites.
## Prerequisites {#prerequisites}
1. **Node.js** `v16` or higher.
2. Your favorite Node Package Manager `npm`, `pnpm` or `yarn` (classic and modern).
> We highly recommend to use the latest versions of Node Package Manager clients `> npm@6.x | yarn@1.x | | yarn@2.x | pnpm@6.x`. Don't support `npm@5.x` or older.
3. A modern web browser to run the web interface. We actually support `Chrome, Firefox, Edge`.
> Verdaccio will support latest Node.js version according the [Node.js Release Working Group](https://github.com/nodejs/Release) recomendations.
