pnpm setup

This command is used by the standalone installation scripts of pnpm. For instance, in https://get.pnpm.io/install.sh.

Setup does the following actions:

  • creates a home directory for the pnpm CLI
  • adds the pnpm home directory to the PATH by updating the shell configuration file
  • copies the pnpm executable to the pnpm home directory
tip

After upgrading to pnpm v11, run pnpm setup to update your shell configuration. In v11, globally installed binaries are stored in a bin subdirectory of PNPM_HOME.
