Issue with docs.zowe.org/stable/user-guide/systemrequirements-zos

[OnnoVdT]

Description

Node.js v18.x, or v20.x is required during installation. installation should be configuration. Node.js is not required to extract the pax or running SMP/E. These steps make up install, everything after is config.

Expected behavior

Do not lump config in with install.

Additional context

I will look into what's correct to say here. zos squad is researching this.

[1000TurquoisePogs]

I'm seeing occurrences of node used for the following purposes:

• Install of PAX, which uses "zwe install" which uses node to manipulate YAML
• Init using "zwe", zosmf workflows, or zowe server install wizard
  • Avoidable via use of JCL samples w/ Keyrings
• Startup when discovery enabled & zosmf used
• Containers
  • prestop - discovery registration cleanup is performed on stop
  • cleanup - cron job for doing registration cleanup periodically
• zwe support
• Most v2 zwe operations if zowe.useConfigmgr=false
