## Requirements

* Node.js 18 or higher
* npm, pnpm, or yarn

## Installation

```bash theme={null}
npm install @anyway-sh/node-server-sdk
```

Or with pnpm:

```bash theme={null}
pnpm add @anyway-sh/node-server-sdk
```

## Verify Installation

```typescript theme={null}
import { initialize } from "@anyway-sh/node-server-sdk";

initialize({
  appName: "test-app",
});

console.log("SDK installed successfully!");
```

## ESM / Next.js

If your project uses ES modules, you must pass provider modules explicitly since OpenTelemetry's require-based instrumentation doesn't work with ESM imports:

```typescript theme={null}
import { initialize } from "@anyway-sh/node-server-sdk";
import OpenAI from "openai";

initialize({
  appName: "my-app",
  instrumentModules: {
    openAI: OpenAI,
  },
});
```

See [Configuration](/sdk/js/configuration) for all available `instrumentModules` options.
