Netlify’s buildbot will not install Yarn without it. If any of your build scripts start with yarn, you must either have a yarn.lock file in your site’s base directory or set NETLIFY_USE_YARN to true.
You can override this by adding -no-ignore-optional to this variable.
YARN_FLAGS: used to indicate the flags to pass to the yarn command. YARN_VERSION: variable that defaults to the version preinstalled with your initial build image. If left unset, we will run Yarn if and only if the site’s base directory includes a yarn.lock file.
If true, Netlify will install and run Yarn.
NETLIFY_USE_YARN: undefined by default. You can customize your Yarn use with the following environment variables:
You can override this behavior with the NETLIFY_USE_YARN environment variable described below. If you commit this file to the site’s base directory in your repository, we will install Yarn and run the yarn command to install the dependencies specified in your yarn.lock file. If you use Yarn locally to install the JavaScript dependencies in your package.json, Yarn will create a yarn.lock file to record the module names and versions installed. Visit our Forums for a verified Support Guide on configuration details when using private npm modules on Netlify.
NPM_TOKEN: used for authentication when installing private npm modules. NPM_FLAGS: used to indicate the flags to pass to the npm install command. NPM_VERSION: variable that defaults to the version preinstalled with your version of Node.js. You can customize your npm use with the following environment variables: You can override this behavior with the NETLIFY_USE_YARN variable described in the section on Yarn. By default, if your site’s base directory does not include a yarn.lock file (more information below), we will run npm install to install the dependencies listed in your package.json. Npm comes preinstalled with Node.js, so any build scripts using npm run will work automatically. If you’re having trouble linking to other repositories in your package.json, visit the repository permissions and linking doc for more information. You can change this value by setting a NODE_ENV environment variable. # Node.js environmentīy default, Netlify’s buildbot sets NODE_ENV to development. The version of Node.js you use is dynamically fetched using nvm and then cached to speed up subsequent builds. You can either set a specific version or set a major version, such as the number 14 for the latest version of Node.js 14.x. This will also tell any other developer using the repository which version of Node.js it depends on.īoth methods above will accept any released version of Node.js, or any valid string that nvm understands. nvmrc file to the site’s base directory in your repository. Set a NODE_VERSION environment variable. You can choose the Node.js version we use to build your site in two different ways: We pin the site to that version so your builds won’t change even if the build image’s defaults change. # Node.js and JavaScriptĪ build’s Node.js version is initially determined by the default version preinstalled on the site’s selected build image. Any executables from these dependencies will be made available from the PATH for the remainder of the build. These are called dependencies, and how you declare them depends on the languages and tools used in your build.įollow the guidelines below to specify your required dependencies, and Netlify will install them before running your build. NPM INSTALL MODULES WITH DEPENDENCIES SOFTWARE
Before running your build command, the buildbot will look for instructions about required languages and software needed to run your command. When you trigger a build on Netlify, our buildbot starts a Docker container to build your site.
