Configuring remote Node.js interpreters

Last modified: 11 October 2024

In JetBrains Rider, you need to configure a remote Node.js interpreter when you want to develop, test, lint, run and debug your application on Node.js installed on a remote host or in a virtual environment.

Remote Node.js interpreters are configured in the Configure Node.js Remote Interpreter dialog. You can open this dialog from the Node.js page of the Settings/Preferences dialog or later, when you create or edit a Node.js run/debug configuration for running or debugging your application in a remote environment.

The recommended way is to configure a remote Node.js interpreter in the Settings/Preferences dialog. In this case you can set the interpreter and the associated package manager as default for your project.

A remote Node.js interpreter that you configure right in the Node.js run/debug configuration can be used only with this run/debug configuration.
