Does it run on Node.js only?[edit]

I'm surprised that Node.js is not mentioned as a requirement in the article, but npm is mentioned as the way to install it. Is there any way that Jest can run on anything else than Node.js? If using Node.js is implicitly assumed, it should be mentioned explicitly, but I cannot find any information on it. Everywhere they talk about using npm or yarn to install Jest, but they don't mention whether you will need to install Node.js first. Apparently you do, since npm is the Node Package Manager and yarn uses npm?

On Wikipedia we need to especially mention what seems obvious to some, as we are specifically writing to people who don't know anything about the subject (which partly includes me currently). --Jhertel (talk) 12:48, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
