Node.js is restricted by company

[rplanaatbbyc]

I hope I have the right forum. In our company, the use of node.exe as distributed with eclipse is restricted. We can ask for specific versions of node.js to be installed that can be executed. Is there a way to redirect eclipse to using node.js in a different subdirectory?

Forgot to mention that otherwise, we get the following error:

LSP4E does not include node itself, my guess is you are getting the node from the WildWebDeveloper project as they bundle and ship node, so asking there may be best.

My guess is that this FAQ will answer the question though (but please direct follow ups to the wild web developer project: https://github.com/eclipse/wildwebdeveloper/blob/master/TIPS_and_FAQ.md#use-embedded-nodejs

@rplanaatbbyc Jonah is correct, WildWebDeveloper project embeds and ships node.js, but, in case it's restricted, you can use -Dorg.eclipse.wildwebdeveloper.nodeJSLocation="<path to Node.js executable>" option to make it use any other supported version of Node.js.
