## Troubleshooting Node Issues

Occassionally, you may run into issues with node.

If you install code-server with `yarn`/`npm` and upgrade your node version, you may need to reinstall code-server to recompile native modules. Sometimes you can get around this by `cd`'ing into the `lib/vscode` directory under code-server and running `npm rebuild` to recompile those native modules.

An example of this might look like:

1. You installed code-server using `brew install code-server`
2. You `cd` into the directory `cd /usr/local/Cellar/code-server/<version>/libexec/lib/vscode/`
3. You recompile native modules by running `npm rebuild`
4. You restart code-server
