I looked at Node.js's documentation:

"Node.js includes a number of other statically linked libraries including OpenSSL. These other libraries are located in the deps/ directory in the Node.js source tree."

I installed Node.js and check out the directory Program files/nodejs, but I cannot find the deps/directory? Where is V8, libuv being stored in my local files?

CodePudding user response：

Node is a program where its C/C , static libraries it uses (such as libuv) and various other resources it uses are compiled into node.exe (on Windows). So, the things you're asking about are inside of node.exe.

They are not separately available in your file system when you just install the runnable version of nodejs.

If you cloned the source repository and built it yourself, you'd have all the components in your local source repository that are then compiled into node.exe. But, if you install an already built version of nodejs, then you will just get the binary executable files that already have the components built into them.
