Requirements and limitations
Keep these requirements and limitations in mind when using the Netlify SDK to build an extension.
SDK requirements
Windows users should run the Netlify SDK through WSL 2
Support for using the Netlify SDK on Windows is currently only available through WSL 2.
To use the Netlify SDK, ensure you have the following installed:
- Node.js 20.12.2 or later
- Netlify CLI
- Netlify SDK commands (required for developing Connectors only)
Extension requirements
Netlify extensions are written with Node.js and TypeScript.
Your project’s root directory must have a package.json file and a tsconfig.json file. If you use npm create @netlify/sdk to create your extension, the SDK will automatically generate these files for you.
