+
+# Prerequisites For NodeJS Projects
 
 Install Node.js version `18.18.0` or higher _and_ Deno version `1.36.0` or higher.

+The use of secrets (including your private keys) in scripts inside Remix IDE is an experimental feature that may not operate as expected and is subject to change. Please be aware that Chainlink does not control how your secrets or environment variables are used or accessed within Remix or when executing scripts within Remix, and the safekeeping of secrets and environment variables is your responsibility.
