Running Node.js on iOS and iPadOS via iSH

The iOS/iPadOS app iSH is available on the app store and runs Linux via x86 emulation. And you can install Node.js on it!

Installing Node.js on iSH  #

• Installing the Alpine Linux package manager apk: How is explained in the project’s wiki.

• Fetching Alpine’s repository list: apk update (source)

• Installing Node.js: apk add nodejs

• The Wiki has a list of packages that can be installed in the same manner.
