## Overview
|
|
|
|
[Firebase](https://firebase.google.com) provides the tools and infrastructure
|
|
you need to develop your app, grow your user base, and earn money. The Firebase
|
|
Admin Node.js SDK enables access to Firebase services from privileged environments
|
|
(such as servers or cloud) in Node.js.
|
|
|
|
For more information, visit the
|
|
[Firebase Admin SDK setup guide](https://firebase.google.com/docs/admin/setup/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
The Firebase Admin Node.js SDK is available on npm as `firebase-admin`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ npm install --save firebase-admin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To use the module in your application, `require` it from any JavaScript file:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const { initializeApp } = require("firebase-admin/app");
|
|
|
|
initializeApp();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you are using ES2015, you can `import` the module instead:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
import { initializeApp } from "firebase-admin/app";
|
|
|
|
initializeApp();
|
|
```
|

## Contributing
|
|
|
|
Please refer to the [CONTRIBUTING page](./CONTRIBUTING.md) for more information
|
|
about how you can contribute to this project. We welcome bug reports, feature
|
|
requests, code review feedback, and also pull requests.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Supported Environments
|
|
|
|
We support Node.js 14 and higher.
|
|
|
|
Please also note that the Admin SDK should only
|
|
be used in server-side/back-end environments controlled by the app developer.
|
|
This includes most server and serverless platforms (both on-premise and in
|
|
the cloud). It is not recommended to use the Admin SDK in client-side
|
|
environments.
