 ## Prerequisites
 Auspice is a JavaScript program, and requires [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) to be installed on your system.

+Refer to `engines.node` in [package.json](https://github.com/nextstrain/auspice/blob/-/package.json) for currently supported versions.
 
 We highly recommend using [Conda](https://conda.io/docs/) to manage environments, i.e. use Conda to create an environment with Node.js installed where you can use Auspice.
