I’ve tried to upgrade one of my websites with all the latest node packages and then I’ve gone to build my website and found that the build has failed, the reason for the failure is due to the Netlify terminal using an older version of Node.js. How do I counteract this issue, obviously it’s out of my control because it’s controlled by Netlify am I correct in thinking this, if there is something I can do let me know. - My netlify site name `https://cswinton-portfolio.netlify.app/` ![Screenshot 2022-01-31 at 20.33.12](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/netlify/original/3X/e/f/ef18bba15ecea5e0e33068dfaf12f4e0465435a5.png) ---

hi there, looks like you will need to set a specific node version. here is how you can do that: > **[Manage build dependencies](https://docs.netlify.com/configure-builds/manage-dependencies/#node-js-and-javascript)** > > Specify dependencies for your project so that our platform can install required languages and software before running a build. good luck!
