- Latest release: `*` or `latest`/`current`/`node` - Latest release: `*` or `latest`/`current`/`node`
**Caveat for NVM syntax:** There is currently no way to ensure that NVM version syntax like `lts/*` will receive the latest LTS release immediately - it can take days to update to the latest LTS because of cache implementation details (see [this issue]([https://github.com/actions/setup-node](https://github.com/actions/setup-node/issues/940#issuecomment-2029638604))). If you need the latest LTS versions in a timely manner, it is recommended to use a different action than `actions/setup-node`.
**Note:** Like the other values, `*` will get the latest [locally-cached Node.js version](https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/main/images/ubuntu/Ubuntu2204-Readme.md#nodejs), or the latest version from [actions/node-versions](https://github.com/actions/node-versions/blob/main/versions-manifest.json), depending on the [`check-latest`](docs/advanced-usage.md#check-latest-version) input. **Note:** Like the other values, `*` will get the latest [locally-cached Node.js version](https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/main/images/ubuntu/Ubuntu2204-Readme.md#nodejs), or the latest version from [actions/node-versions](https://github.com/actions/node-versions/blob/main/versions-manifest.json), depending on the [`check-latest`](docs/advanced-usage.md#check-latest-version) input.
