title: Preparing your organization for usage-based billing

On June 1, 2026, {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} is moving to usage-based billing with {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credits %}. Use the tool below to understand how this change affects your organization and prepare before the transition takes effect.
<!-- end expires 2026-06-01 -->
## Download the usage report
From the announcement banner on your enterprise home page, billing overview page, or premium request analytics page, click **Preview your usage** to see your options. From the dialog, click **{% octicon "download" aria-hidden="true" %}** to request a detailed usage report. You can also request the report from the premium request analytics page or via the API. The report is generated asynchronously and delivered via email to the requesting admin.
The report includes one row per user, per model, per day. Alongside the existing columns for your current billing data, two additional columns show the estimated equivalent under usage-based billing:
* `aic_quantity`: The number of {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credits_short %} consumed
* `aic_gross_amount`: The estimated cost in USD under usage-based billing
## See projected spend
For a detailed breakdown, you can upload your CSV to the [billing preview tool](https://copilot-billing-preview.github.com/). The tool gives you a view of your estimated costs, including:
* A side-by-side comparison of your current billing (PRUs) and projected AI Credits (AICs), including total costs with additional usage.
* A detailed breakdown of licenses, consumed units, included discounts, and additional usage for each billing model.
> [!NOTE]
> The billing preview tool provides estimated projections for illustrative purposes only. Actual usage may differ. Charges are calculated from actual usage emissions processed by the billing platform, separate from the preview data pipeline.
Your data stays in your browser; nothing is uploaded to a server.
## Take action before the transition
Based on what you've learned from the billing preview and usage report, you can take steps to prepare:
* **Review and adjust your budgets**. Existing enterprise-level budgets for premium requests will automatically carry over to {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credits_short %}. Review them in your enterprise billing settings to make sure they still reflect the limits you want.
* **Plan for pooled {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credits_short %}**. Under usage-based billing, each license comes with a monthly amount of included {% data variables.product.prodname_ai_credits_short %}, which are pooled across your organization. Consider how this changes your cost structure. Teams with uneven usage patterns may benefit.
* **Communicate the change internally**. Let your teams know that billing is changing and what it means for their day-to-day use of {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %}.

title: Install
section: 5
description: Download and install node and npm
---

### Description

To publish and install packages to and from the public npm registry, you must install Node.js and the npm command line interface using either a Node version manager or a Node installer.
**We strongly recommend using a Node version manager to install Node.js and npm.** We do not recommend using a
Node installer, since the Node installation process installs npm in a directory with local permissions and can cause permissions errors when you run npm packages globally.

### Overview

- [Checking your version of npm and Node.js](#checking-your-version-of-npm-and-nodejs)
- [Using a Node version manager to install Node.js and npm](#using-a-node-version-manager-to-install-nodejs-and-npm)
- [Using a Node installer to install Node.js and npm](#using-a-node-installer-to-install-nodejs-and-npm)

### Checking your version of npm and Node.js

To see if you already have Node.js and npm installed and check the installed version, run the following commands:

```
node -v
npm -v
```

### Using a Node version manager to install Node.js and npm

Node version managers allow you to install and switch between multiple versions of Node.js and npm on your system so you can test your applications on multiple versions of npm to ensure they work for users on different versions.
You can [search for them on GitHub](https://github.com/search?q=node+version+manager+archived%3Afalse&type=repositories&ref=advsearch).

### Using a Node installer to install Node.js and npm

If you are unable to use a Node version manager, you can use a Node installer to install both Node.js and npm on your system.

* [Node.js installer](https://nodejs.org/en/download/)
* [NodeSource installer](https://github.com/nodesource/distributions).
If you use Linux, we recommend that you use a NodeSource installer.

#### macOS or Windows Node installers

If you're using macOS or Windows, use one of the installers from the [Node.js download page](https://nodejs.org/en/download/).
Be sure to install the version labeled **LTS**. Other versions have not yet been tested with npm.

#### Linux or other operating systems Node installers

If you're using Linux or another operating system, use one of the following installers:

- [NodeSource installer](https://github.com/nodesource/distributions) (recommended)
- One of the installers on the [Node.js download page](https://nodejs.org/en/download/)

Or see [this page](https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/) to install npm for Linux in the way many Linux developers prefer.
