Unable to checkout code

I am new to gitea - I setup gitea and have a runner registered, but it won’t checkout code because it cannot find node on the PATH.

I thought that by manually installing node in the gitea-runner, that might resolve it, but no. I’ve looked at:

It might be as simple as adding labels to the runner to get node installed, but the documentation here also references images that are 4 years old.

I am running gitea 1.26.4.

I appreciate your help and feedback.
