The dialog opens when you click Add in the Node.js Interpreters dialog and choose Remote... from the drop-down menu. This menu item is available only when you open the Node.js Interpreters dialog from the Run/Debug Configuration: Node.js.
Use this dialog to configure access to Node.js installations on remote hosts or in development environments set up in Vagrant instances.
SSH | Select this option to configure access to a Node.js interpreter on a remote host or environment that is accessible through SSH credentials. Select the relevant SSH configuration and check the path to the default Node.js interpreter from the remote host or environment. Learn more from Create SSH configurations. |
Docker | This option is available only when the Node.js, Node.js Remote Interpreter, and Docker Integration plugins are installed and enabled as described in Installing plugins from repository. Select this option to use a Node.js interpreter that is running in a Docker container.

Vagrant | This option is available only when the Vagrant plugin is installed and enabled. The Vagrant plugin is not bundled with IntelliJ IDEA, but it can be installed on the Settings/Preferences | Plugins page, tab Marketplace, as described in Installing plugins from JetBrains repository. Choose this option to configure access to a Node.js interpreter installed in a Vagrant instance using your Vagrant credentials. Technically, it is the folder where the VagrantFile configuration file for the desired environment is located. Based on this setting, IntelliJ IDEA detects the Vagrant host and shows it as a link in the Vagrant Host URL read-only field. To use an interpreter configuration, you need path mappings that set correspondence between the project folders, the folders on the server to copy project files to, and the URL addresses to access the copied data on the server. IntelliJ IDEA evaluates path mappings from the VagrantFile configuration file. |
Node.js Interpreter Path | In this field, specify the location of the Node.js executable file in accordance with the configuration of the selected remote development environment.
To specify a different folder, click and choose the relevant folder in the dialog that opens. Note that the Node.js home directory must be open for editing. When you click OK, IntelliJ IDEA checks whether the Node.js executable is actually stored in the specified folder.
