Instalación

Usando el script autónomo

Puede instalar pnpm incluso si no tiene instalado Node.js, utilizando los siguientes scripts.

Windows

Usando PowerShell:

iwr https://get.pnpm.io/install.ps1 -useb | iex

Sistemas POSIX

curl -fsSL https://get.pnpm.io/install.sh | sh -

Si no tiene curl instalado, puede usar wget:

wget -qO- https://get.pnpm.io/install.sh | sh -

Alpine Linux

# bash
wget -qO- https://get.pnpm.io/install.sh | ENV="$HOME/.bashrc" SHELL="$(which bash)" bash -
# sh
wget -qO- https://get.pnpm.io/install.sh | ENV="$HOME/.shrc" SHELL="$(which sh)" sh -
# dash
wget -qO- https://get.pnpm.io/install.sh | ENV="$HOME/.dashrc" SHELL="$(which dash)" dash -

Requisitos previos

If you don't use the standalone script to install pnpm, then you need to have Node.js (at least v14) to be installed on your system.

Instalación de una versión específica

Antes de ejecutar el script de instalación, puede configurar opcionalmente una variable env PNPM_VERSION para instalar una versión específica de pnpm:

curl -fsSL https://get.pnpm.io/install.sh | env PNPM_VERSION=<version> sh -

tip

Puede usar pnpm env para instalar Node.js.

Usando Corepack

Desde la v16.13, Node.js está distribuyendo Corepack para administrar administradores de paquetes. Esta es una función experimental, por lo que debe habilitarla ejecutando:

corepack enable

If you installed Node.js using Homebrew, you'll need to install corepack separately:

brew install corepack

This will automatically install pnpm on your system. However, it probably won't be the latest version of pnpm. To upgrade it, check what is the latest pnpm version and run:

corepack prepare pnpm@<version> --activate

With Node.js v16.17 or newer, you may install the latest version of pnpm by just specifying the tag:

corepack prepare pnpm@latest --activate

Usando pnpm

npm install -g pnpm

Usando Homebrew

If you have the package manager installed, you can install pnpm using the following command:

brew install pnpm

Using Scoop

If you have Scoop installed, you can install pnpm using the following command:

scoop install nodejs-lts pnpm

tip

Do you wanna use pnpm on CI servers? See: Continuous Integration.

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'

}

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.

Using a shorter alias

pnpm might be hard to type, so you may use a shorter alias like pn instead.

Agregar un alias permanente en los sistemas POSIX

Just put the following line to your .bashrc, .zshrc, or config.fish:

alias pn=pnpm

Agregar un alias permanente en Powershell (Windows):

In a Powershell window with admin rights, execute:

notepad $profile.AllUsersAllHosts

In the profile.ps1 file that opens, put:

set-alias -name pn -value pnpm

Save the file and close the window. You may need to close any open Powershell window in order for the alias to take effect.

Desinstalando pnpm

If you need to remove the pnpm CLI from your system and any files it has written to your disk, see Uninstalling pnpm.
