The AWS CDK uses Node.js (>= 10.13.0, except for versions 13.0.0 - 13.6.0). A version in active long-term support (16.x at this writing) is recommended.

• To install Node.js visit the node.js website.

  • Windows: if you have an old version of Node.js installed on your system, it may be required to run the .msi installation as Administrator.

• If you already have Node.js installed, verify that you have a compatible version:

  node --version
  

  Output should be >= 10.13.0:

  v10.3.0
