Installing the Node.js Driver¶
This topic describes how to install the Node.js driver using npm
, the default package manager for the Node.js JavaScript runtime
environment.
Prerequisites¶
Node.js must already be installed in the environment where you wish to install the driver.
You need to be able to run the
node
andnpm
commands.Depending on your environment, you may need
sudo
privileges.
For a list of the operating systems supported by Snowflake clients, see Operating system support.
Installing the driver¶
The Node.js driver (snowflake-sdk
) is available directly from npm
.
To install the driver, open a terminal window and type the following command:
npm install snowflake-sdk
The command downloads and installs the Snowflake Node.js driver. The driver should now appear in your node_modules
directory and
you should be able to use the driver using require('snowflake-sdk')
.
