25.06 odd numbered Node.js

When running my node servers I keep getting the following message:

Odd numbered Node.js versions will not enter LTS status and should not be used for production. For more information, please see https://nodejs.org/en/about/previous-releases/.

Reproduction steps:

1. node --version = v21.6.0
2. run ng serve or npx ts-node src/server.ts in the corresponding projects.

Will have to look into what this message means.

GPT response:

It seems like you have Node.js version v21.6.0 installed. The message you received is a warning that odd-numbered Node.js versions, like v21, will not enter Long-Term Support (LTS) status and are generally not recommended for production use.

Node.js follows a release schedule where even-numbered versions are designated as LTS, providing a stable and supported platform for an extended period, typically for 30 months. Odd-numbered versions are considered "Current" and receive shorter support periods. These versions are intended for testing and experimentation rather than production use.

To ensure stability and support for production environments, it's advisable to use an LTS version of Node.js. You can consider switching to the latest even-numbered LTS release, which should offer a more stable and well-supported platform for your applications. You can find LTS releases on the official Node.js website: https://nodejs.org/en/download/
