Node.js 22 + Debian 12: Supported via NodeSource; Not in Default Repos

Node.js 22 + Debian 12 (Bookworm)

Debian 12 (Bookworm)'s default apt repository ships Node.js 18, not 22. For Node.js 22, use the NodeSource repository or nvm. The NodeSource `setup_22.x` script is the most reliable path for server deployments. Do not use Debian's default `nodejs` package for production Node.js 22 work.

Workarounds & Fixes

NodeSource: `curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x | sudo -E bash - && sudo apt install -y nodejs`
nvm (no root required): `nvm install 22`
