Sometimes your application has a node.js dependency like this (ghost blog): >=6.9 <7.*
Then, of course you want to use the latest available version on azure.
To configure the version on your app service, follow this guide:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/nodejs-specify-node-version-azure-apps
General information about node.js versions can be found here:
https://github.com/nodejs/Release
There are 2 possible ways to get the installed node.js versions.
File system (Debug Console)
- Go to
yoursite.scm.azurewebsites.net - Choose Debug Console (PowerShell or CMD)
- Navigate to
D:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs - Run
dirto see the available nodejs versions.
JSON (REST API)
- Go to
yoursite.scm.azurewebsites.net - Click on
Runtime versions
- The api will return all installed node.js versions and some system informations as JSON
