Details

The runtime dependencies as listed here [1] do not include nodejs.

Instead nodejs is a make dependency [2], check dependency and an optional dependency for extensions [3], similar to npm.

For example, installing jupyterlab through pip in an virtual environment does not require nodejs.

Note that a consequence of not including nodejs is a warning when running jupyterlab:

[W LabApp] Could not determine jupyterlab build status without nodejs.
