Install Node.js before following this how-to guide. Custom Data Feeds (CDF) currently supports versions of Node.js between v16.19.1 and v20.11.1.
Node.js version 20.11.1 is highly recommended because this version ships with ArcGIS Server 11.3. If you need to have other version of Node.js installed on your development machine, consider using NVM (Linux) or NVM for Windows (Windows) to switch your version while developing.
