CommonJS CommonJS on paper — require() failed in our runtime test

@esbuild/linux-x64 declares a CommonJS entry only, but require("@esbuild/linux-x64") failed on every Node.js version in our probe: Cannot find module '@esbuild/linux-x64'. import "@esbuild/linux-x64" resolves to the same file, so it fails the same way. That usually means a missing peer dependency, a browser-only global, or a package that is not meant to be loaded directly; see the runtime table below.

What to do

  1. require("@esbuild/linux-x64") failed in our probe on every Node.js version (Cannot find module '@esbuild/linux-x64'); check the package README for peer dependencies or setup before relying on it.
  2. From ES modules use the default import: import linuxX64 from "@esbuild/linux-x64"; then destructure. Named imports only work when Node.js can statically detect the exports.
  3. TypeScript: no types are available for @esbuild/linux-x64; declare the module yourself if you need them.

A failing require() on a CommonJS package usually means the package needs a browser/DOM global, a peer dependency, or a native binary that is not available in a bare Node.js process.

How to import @esbuild/linux-x64

ES modules (import)

import linuxX64 from "@esbuild/linux-x64";

Named imports from a CommonJS package only work when Node.js can statically detect them. If a named import fails, use the default import and destructure.

CommonJS (require)

// require("@esbuild/linux-x64") failed in our probe on every Node.js version we test (Cannot find module '@esbuild/linux-x64'); see the runtime table.
const linuxX64 = require("@esbuild/linux-x64");

Module format by version

Derived from the type, main and exports fields of every stable release on npm, corrected where a runtime test of that version contradicted them (113 versions; the newest 60 shown).

@esbuild/linux-x64@0.28.2 declares a CommonJS entry, but require() fails at runtime. @esbuild/linux-x64 declares a CommonJS entry only, but require("@esbuild/linux-x64") failed on every Node.js version in our probe: Cannot find module '@esbuild/linux-x64'. import "@esbuild/linux-x64" resolves to the same file, so it fails the same way. That usually means a missing peer dependency, a browser-only global, or a package that is not meant to be loaded directly; see the runtime table below.

Can I require @esbuild/linux-x64?

Not in practice. @esbuild/linux-x64 declares a CommonJS entry, but require("@esbuild/linux-x64") failed on every Node.js version in our probe: Cannot find module '@esbuild/linux-x64'. Check the package README for peer dependencies or setup before relying on it.

Can I import @esbuild/linux-x64 with ES module syntax?

Yes. import linuxX64 from "@esbuild/linux-x64" works in Node.js and Bun because they support importing CommonJS modules. Named imports work only when Node.js can statically detect the exports.
