Supported package sources
pnpm supports installing packages from various sources. These sources are divided into two categories: trusted sources and exotic sources.
Exotic sources (like Git repositories or direct tarball URLs) can introduce supply chain risks when used by transitive dependencies. You can prevent transitive dependencies from using exotic sources by setting blockExoticSubdeps to true.
Trusted sources
Trusted sources are considered safe for both direct and transitive dependencies.
npm registry
pnpm add package-name will install the latest version of package-name from
the npm registry by default.
ワークスペースで実行された場合、最初に他のプロジェクトが指定された依存パッケージを使用しているかどうかを確認しようとします。 その場合、すでに使用されているバージョン範囲がインストールされます。
また、次のようにパッケージをインストールすることも可能です。
- tag:
pnpm add express@nightly - version:
pnpm add express@1.0.0 - version range:
pnpm add express@2 react@">=0.1.0 <0.2.0"
JSR registry
Added in: v10.9.0
To install packages from the JSR registry, use the jsr: protocol prefix:
pnpm add jsr:@hono/hono
pnpm add jsr:@hono/hono@4
pnpm add jsr:@hono/hono@latest
This works just like installing from npm, but tells pnpm to resolve the package through JSR instead.
Named registries
Added in: v11.1.0
A named registry alias resolves a package against a specific registry, regardless of the default one:
pnpm add work:@corp/lib@^2.0.0
pnpm add gh:@my-org/private-pkg
pnpm add npmjs:left-pad
gh: (GitHub Packages) and, since v11.20.0, npmjs: (the public npm registry) work without configuration. Any other alias must be mapped under namedRegistries in pnpm-workspace.yaml or, since v11.11.0, in the global configuration file (config.yaml).
ワークスペース
Note that when adding dependencies and working within a workspace, packages
will be installed from the configured sources, depending on whether or not
linkWorkspacePackages is set, and use of the
workspace: range protocol.
Local file system
ローカルファイルシステムからインストールする方法は2つあります。
- from a tarball file (
.tar,.tar.gz, or.tgz) - ディレクトリから
例:
pnpm add ./package.tar.gz
pnpm add ./some-directory
When you install from a directory, a symlink will be created in the current
project's node_modules, so it is the same as running pnpm link.
Exotic sources
Exotic sources are useful for development but may pose supply chain risks when used by transitive dependencies.
Remote tarball
引数は、 "http://" または "https://" で始まるフェッチ可能な URL でなければなりません。
例:
pnpm add https://github.com/indexzero/forever/tarball/v0.5.6
Git repository
pnpm add <git remote url>
Installs the package from the Git repository at the given URL. Depending on the repository, pnpm either downloads a source archive from the Git host or clones the repository with Git — see how Git dependencies are resolved.
Gitからパッケージをインストールするには、以下の方法があります。
- デフォルトブランチの最新コミット:
pnpm add kevva/is-positive
- Git コミットハッシュ:
pnpm add kevva/is-positive#97edff6f525f192a3f83cea1944765f769ae2678
- Git ブランチ:
pnpm add kevva/is-positive#master
- refs に対する相対的な Git ブランチ:
pnpm add zkochan/is-negative#heads/canary
- Git タグ:
pnpm add zkochan/is-negative#2.0.1
- v で始まる Git タグ:
pnpm add andreineculau/npm-publish-git#v0.0.7
semver を使用して Git リポジトリからインストールする
You can specify version (range) to install using the semver: parameter. 例:
- 厳密な semver:
pnpm add zkochan/is-negative#semver:1.0.0
- v で始まる厳密な semver:
pnpm add andreineculau/npm-publish-git#semver:v0.0.7
- semver バージョン範囲:
pnpm add kevva/is-positive#semver:^2.0.0
- v で始まる semver バージョン範囲:
pnpm add andreineculau/npm-publish-git#semver:<=v0.0.7
Git リポジトリのサブディレクトリからインストールする
You may also install just a subdirectory from a Git-hosted monorepo using the path: parameter. 例:
pnpm add RexSkz/test-git-subfolder-fetch#path:/packages/simple-react-app
完全な URL 経由で Git リポジトリからインストールする
もっと明確にしたい場合や、別の Git ホスティングを使用している場合は、完全な Git URL を明記することをおすすめします。
# git+ssh
pnpm add git+ssh://git@github.com:zkochan/is-negative.git#2.0.1
# https
pnpm add https://github.com/zkochan/is-negative.git#2.0.1
ホスティングプロバイダーのショートカットを使用して、Git リポジトリからインストールする
You can use a protocol shorthand [provider]: for certain Git providers:
pnpm add github:zkochan/is-negative
pnpm add bitbucket:pnpmjs/git-resolver
pnpm add gitlab:pnpm/git-resolver
If [provider]: is omitted, it defaults to github:.
さまざまなパラメータを組み合わせて Git リポジトリからインストールする
It is possible to combine multiple parameters by separating them with &. これはモノレポのフォークで便利です:
pnpm add RexSkz/test-git-subdir-fetch.git#beta\&path:/packages/simple-react-app
Installs from the beta branch and only the subdirectory at /packages/simple-react-app.
How Git dependencies are resolved
Added in: v12.0.0 (pnpm v12 only)
For repositories on GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket, the specifier is an identity, not a choice of transport. All of the following name the same dependency and resolve identically:
kevva/is-positive
github:kevva/is-positive
git+https://github.com/kevva/is-positive.git
git+ssh://git@github.com/kevva/is-positive.git
Each resolves through the host's canonical HTTPS URL, and the lockfile records one of two shapes:
- the host's source archive, a plain tarball download. This is recorded only when an anonymous request for that exact archive URL succeeds, so a recorded archive URL is fetchable by construction.
- otherwise a
gitresolution over the canonical HTTPS URL, which every machine that has access to the repository can fetch.
pnpm never records an SSH URL for these hosts. Which transport a given machine uses to reach the host is that machine's Git configuration, not a property of the project.
Using SSH for private repositories
Configure the rewrite in Git itself, on the machine:
git config --global url."git@github.com:".insteadOf https://github.com/
pnpm shells out to git, so the rewrite applies to all of pnpm's Git operations automatically. The same holds on CI: give the runner an SSH key and this rewrite, or an HTTPS credential helper — the lockfile is identical either way.
Repositories on other hosts
A URL that does not point at a known host (a self-hosted GitLab, Gitea, or any internal Git server) is kept exactly as written, transport included — for those, the URL is the identity. URLs with credentials embedded in them are also kept verbatim, and never resolve to a host archive.
In pnpm v11 and earlier, resolution probed the network to decide between HTTPS and SSH. That could record whichever transport happened to work on the machine that ran the install — most often an ssh:// URL that then failed on CI runners without SSH keys. pnpm v12 removes the probing. Existing lockfile entries are left untouched; the rules above apply when an entry is added or re-resolved.
How a Git dependency is built
Added in: v12.0.0-rc.6 (pnpm v12 only)
A Git-hosted dependency that ships sources rather than a built package has to be prepared — its dependencies installed and its build script run — before it can be installed. pnpm prepares it with the package manager the dependency itself asks for, instead of assuming the host has the right one:
- the dependency's own
packageManager/devEngines.packageManagerpin wins — that is what its authors test against; - failing a pin, the lockfile it ships names the package manager. A
yarn.lockalso names which Yarn line: Yarn Berry stamps__metadata:into every lockfile it writes and neither line can read the other's, so a Classic lockfile is no longer installed by Berry.
pnpm provides that package manager when the dependency pinned a version, or when the host cannot satisfy what the dependency needs. A repository built with Yarn therefore installs on a machine that has only pnpm, while a host that already has a suitable package manager — under every name the build may invoke — keeps using its own.
