+<!--type=misc-->
+
+Node.js comes with a wide variety of CLI options. These options expose built-in
+debugging, multiple ways to execute scripts, and other helpful runtime options.
+
+To view this documentation as a manual page in your terminal, run `man node`.
+
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`node [options] [v8 options] [script.js | -e "script"] [arguments]`
+
+`node debug [script.js | -e "script" | <host>:<port>] …`
+
+`node --v8-options`
+
+Execute without arguments to start the [REPL][].

+
+
+### `-r`, `--require module`
+

+rules. `module` may be either a path to a file, or a node module name.

+
+
+### `--trace-deprecation`
+
+Print stack traces for deprecations.
+
+

+### `--v8-options`
+
+Print v8 command line options.
+
+
+### `--tls-cipher-list=list`
+
+Specify an alternative default TLS cipher list. (Requires Node.js to be built
+with crypto support. (Default))
+
+
+### `--enable-fips`
+
+Enable FIPS-compliant crypto at startup. (Requires Node.js to be built with
+`./configure --openssl-fips`)
+
+
+### `--force-fips`

+Force FIPS-compliant crypto on startup. (Cannot be disabled from script code.)
+(Same requirements as `--enable-fips`)
+

+
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+### `NODE_DEBUG=module[,…]`
+
+`','`-separated list of core modules that should print debug information.
+
+
+### `NODE_PATH=path[:…]`
+
+`':'`-separated list of directories prefixed to the module search path.
+
+_Note: on Windows, this is a `';'`-separated list instead._
+
