:::note Missing tools and environment configuration

Some tools referenced in Harness Cloud VM images might not be preinstalled, or they might not be on `PATH` by default. If a tool isn’t available, install it in a step or run your step inside a container image that already includes it. If a tool is present but not auto-configured, **set the required environment variables** (for example, update `PATH`, set `JAVA_HOME`, etc.).

**Install on-demand (example: Node via NVM)**

```yaml
- step:
type: Action
name: Setup Node Using NVM
identifier: Setup_Node_Using_NVM
spec:
uses: dcodeIO/setup-node-nvm@master
with:
node-version: 20.12.2
```
**Alternative: run inside a container with all required dependencies**

```yaml
- step:
type: Run
name: Build with custom image
identifier: build_with_custom_image
spec:
connectorRef: my_docker_hub
image: YourCustomImage:tag
shell: Bash
command: your_build_command
```

### Verifying software versions

To see the exact versions of preinstalled software on each image, check the detailed specifications in the [Harness Cloud documentation](https://github.com/wings-software/harness-docs/tree/main/harness-cloud). Each image type has its own README file with current software versions and installation details.
