Answer
Plesk for Linux:

Note: Node.js 18 and higher is compatible only with Linux distributions based on and using glibc 2.28 or later (CentOS/CloudLinux/RHEL 7 go only up to glibc 2.17). To check the current version on your OS, you may use the following command:
# [root@server ~]# ldd --version
ldd (GNU libc) 2.17
Plesk for Windows:
Node.js versions that are available for installation via Plesk Installer:
- Node.js 20
- Node.js 18
Additional Information
The Node.js extension now automatically installs and updates supported LTS versions.
There is a scheduled task that checks and installs available updates weekly. Once a new major LTS (or current) version appears, it will be installed by this task.
To turn off this task, add the following lines to /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/panel.ini (Plesk for Linux) or %plesk_dir%adminconfpanel.ini (Plesk for Windows Server):
