ohos-node

This project build Node.js for the OpenHarmony platform and releases pre-built packages.

Get Pre-built Packages

Pre-built packages are available from two sources:

1. GitHub Releases

2. Dist source — a self-hosted Node.js dist source compatible with nodejs.org/dist.

Usage

1. Manual install

Extract the tarball and add the bin directory to PATH:

tar -zxf node-v24.2.0-openharmony-arm64.tar.gz
export PATH=$PATH:$(realpath node-v24.2.0-openharmony-arm64/bin)

# You can now use the 'node' command.

2. Install via nvm / fnm (under adaptation, coming soon)

Support is under adaptation — a few patches are still needed before nvm / fnm can install from the dist source.

The intended usage:

# nvm
NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR=https://ohos-node.com/dist nvm install v24.2.0
# or persist it:
nvm set node_mirror https://ohos-node.com/dist

# fnm
FNM_NODE_DIST_MIRROR=https://ohos-node.com/dist fnm install 24

Build from Source

1. Manual Build

You need a Linux x64 host to cross-compile Node.js with the supplied build.sh.

Example on Ubuntu 24.04 x64:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y build-essential unzip jq
./build.sh v24.2.0

2. CI Build

If you are familiar with GitHub Actions, reuse the workflow file in this repo to build on GitHub’s runners, and no local environment required.

Steps for your own builds:

1. Fork this repo.
2. Enable workflow under the “Actions” tab.
3. Push commits or create a release to trigger the workflow.
