# Requirements

The plugin runs inside Sanity Studio. It doesn't care what your website is built with.

| You need | Version | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Sanity Studio | `sanity` 6.22 or newer (v6) | The version the room is written and tested against. Older 6.x releases are being checked (see [Compatibility](https://writingroom.studio/docs/compatibility.md)). |
| React | 19.3.1 or newer | Required by `@portabletext/editor` 8. |
| `styled-components` | 6.1.18 or newer | The room's styling, as in the Studio itself. |
| Node.js | 22.12 or newer | Required by Sanity Studio v6 to run `sanity dev` and `sanity build`. |
| Studio auto-updates | **Off** | See [Why auto-updates off?](https://writingroom.studio/docs/install.md). |

**Do I need Next.js?** No. The room only needs a Studio. Next.js matters only if you turn on **Preview**, and even then any site can do it (see [Preview on your site](https://writingroom.studio/docs/preview-on-your-site.md)).
