Install a community node

To install a community node from npm:

1. Go to Settings > Community Nodes.
2. Select Install.
3. Find the node you want to install:
4. Select Browse. n8n takes you to an npm search results page, showing all npm packages tagged with the keyword n8n-community-node-package.
5. Browse the list of results. You can filter the results or add more keywords.
6. Once you find the package you want, make a note of the package name. If you want to install a specific version, make a note of the version number as well.
7. Return to n8n.
8. Enter the npm package name, and optionally a version number or dist-tag. For example, consider a community node designed to access a weather API called "Storms." The package name is n8n-node-storms, and it has three major versions.

• To install the latest version of a package called n8n-node-weather: enter n8n-nodes-storms in Enter npm package name.
• To install version 2.3: enter n8n-node-storms@2.3 in Enter npm package name.
• To install from a dist-tag such as beta: enter n8n-node-storms@beta in Enter npm package name. You can use any npm dist-tag published by the package author, such as beta, next, or latest.

Dist-tags resolve once at install timeWhen you install a package using a dist-tag, n8n resolves the tag to its current version at that moment. Future updates don't follow the dist-tag. For example, if you install <code>n8n-node-storms@beta</code> and <code>beta</code> points to version <code>2.0.0-beta.1</code>, n8n installs that specific version. Later updates compare against the installed semver version, not the <code>beta</code> tag.

1. Agree to the risks of using community nodes: select I understand the risks of installing unverified code from a public source.
2. Select Install. n8n installs the node, and returns to the Community Nodes list in Settings.

Upgrade to a specific version

To upgrade to a specific version (a version other than the latest), uninstall the node, then reinstall it, making sure to specify the target version. Follow the Installation instructions for more guidance.
