Kotlin doesn't use Node to compile, but KGP can use it to execute JS if requested. by default it installs its own version, stashing it in

~/.gradle

, see https://kotlinlang.org/docs/js-project-setup.html#use-pre-installed-node-js

The

com.github.node-gradle.node

plugin can be used to provision a Node.js version to be used.
