安装

通过脚本安装#

curl -f https://get.pnpm.io/v6.6.js | node - add --global pnpm

在 Windows （PowerShell）上：

(Invoke-WebRequest 'https://get.pnpm.io/v6.6.js' -UseBasicParsing).Content | node - add --global pnpm

上述安装脚本是经过签名的。这里是验证方法。

通过 npm 安装#

npm install -g pnpm

通过 npx 安装#

npx pnpm add -g pnpm

升级#

安装 pnpm 之后，就无需使用其它软件包管理器来更新 pnpm 了。你可以让 pnpm 自己来更新自己，如下所示：

pnpm add -g pnpm

你是否需要在 CI 服务器上使用 pnpm？请参阅持续集成章节。

Troubleshooting#

If pnpm is broken and you cannot fix it by reinstalling, you might need to remove it manually from the PATH.

Let's assume you have the following error when running pnpm install:

C:\src>pnpm install
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:883
  throw err;
  ^

 

Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Users\Bence\AppData\Roaming\npm\pnpm-global\4\node_modules\pnpm\bin\pnpm.js'
←[90m    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:880:15)←[39m
←[90m    at Function.Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:725:27)←[39m

  code: ←[32m'MODULE_NOT_FOUND'←[39m,
  requireStack: []
}

First, try to find the location of pnpm by running: which pnpm. If you're on Windows, run this command in Git Bash. You'll get the location of the pnpm command, for instance:

$ which pnpm
/c/Program Files/nodejs/pnpm

Now that you know where the pnpm CLI is, open that directory and remove any pnpm-related files (pnpm.cmd, pnpx.cmd, pnpm, etc). Once done, install pnpm again and it should work as expected.
