To call Box APIs from a Node project, install the Box Node SDK in one of two ways:

* As part of the [`box`](/guides/tooling/box-npm-package) npm package (recommended for new projects)
* As the standalone `box-node-sdk` package (supported for existing integrations)

<Card href="https://github.com/box/box-node-sdk" arrow title="Learn more about Node SDK on GitHub" />

## Install with `npm install box` (recommended)

The `box` npm package installs the Box Node SDK and the [Box CLI](/guides/cli) as direct dependencies, so you get both tools in a single command.

### Prerequisites

Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) 22 or later.

### Install

```shell theme={null}
npm install box
```

### Import the SDK

```javascript theme={null}
import BoxSDK from 'box/sdk';  // ESM
const BoxSDK = require('box/sdk');  // CommonJS
```

TypeScript types are included. After installation, you can also run any [CLI command](/guides/cli) with `npx box <command>` — no separate install is required.

The `box` package works with npm, yarn, pnpm, and bun.

<Info>
  **Existing `box-node-sdk` users:** If `box-node-sdk` works for you, leave it. The `box` package is for developers — and their coding agents — starting fresh. Existing code is unaffected.
</Info>

## Install `box-node-sdk` directly

Use the standalone package for existing projects.

### NPM installation

To install the Node SDK run the following command from your terminal
window or command prompt using the [Node Package Manager][npm].

```shell theme={null}
npm install box-node-sdk --save
```

### Yarn installation

Similarly, the SDK can be installed using the [Yarn package][yarn] manager.

```shell theme={null}
yarn add box-node-sdk
```
