Safely update Node.js (Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova)

Cordova uses Node.js to perform automation tasks. Visual Studio Taco Update 8 ensures that Cordova uses a compatible version of node.js. If you haven't installed the update, and you plan to install a new version of node.js onto your computer, make sure that it's compatible with the version of Cordova that your project uses. This topic helps you do that.

If you're not sure which version of Node.js you've installed, do these things.

  1. Open a Terminal (on a Mac) or open a Command Prompt (on a Windows computer).
