 ## Installation
 
-### In Your Node.js Project
+### Requirements
+
+The Coinbase server-side SDK requires Node.js version 18 or higher and npm version 9.7.2 or higher. To view your currently installed versions of Node.js, run the following from the command-line:
 
 ```bash
-npm install @coinbase/coinbase-sdk
+node -v
+npm -v
 ```
 
-or
+We recommend installing and managing Node.js and npm versions with `nvm`. See [Installing and Updating](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm?tab=readme-ov-file#installing-and-updating) in the `nvm` README for instructions on how to install `nvm`.
+
+Once `nvm` has been installed, you can install and use the latest versions of Node.js and npm by running the following commands:
 
 ```bash
-yarn install @coinbase/coinbase-sdk
+nvm install node # "node" is an alias for the latest version
+nvm use node
 ```
