title: Locadex VM Image
description: Environment and tooling included in Locadex VM images
---

Locadex runs in an isolated VM image with the runtime and tooling it needs to inspect, update, and validate your repository.

## Runtime

The image includes:

- Node.js 24 (from `node:24-slim`)
- npm
- Bun `1.3.9`

## Environment variables

Configure environment variables in your Locadex settings under **Environment variables**.

Environment variables are encrypted at rest and can only be accessed by the Locadex runtime.

## Available commands

The image includes common command-line tools used for repository inspection, dependency installation, and code changes:

- `git`
- `wget`
- `curl`
- `tar`
- `build-essential`
- `python3`
- `python3-venv`
- `python3-pip`
- `ripgrep`
- `jq`
- `ca-certificates`
- `unzip`

## Preset linters

Locadex can run supported preset linters without modifying your package manifest or lockfile.

Available linter commands:

- `biome`
- `eslint`
- `ultracite`

## Project dependencies

The image does not install your project's dependencies ahead of time. If you need to install dependencies, you can do so using the pre-process and post-process commands.

The image does not include browser runtimes or Docker-in-Docker support.
