Instalação

Prerequisites

If you don't use the standalone script or @pnpm/exe to install pnpm, then you need to have Node.js (at least v16.14) to be installed on your system.

Using a standalone script

You may install pnpm even if you don't have Node.js installed, using the following scripts.

No Windows

Using PowerShell:

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

Nos sistemas POSIX

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

If you don't have curl installed, you would like to use wget:

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

No 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 -

Installing a specific version

Antes de rodar o script de instalação, você pode, opcionalmente, setar uma variável de ambiente (. env) PNPM_VERSION para instalar uma versão específica do pnpm:

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

tip

Então, você pode utilizar o comando pnpm env para instalar Node.js.

Using Corepack

Desde a versão v16.13, Node.js inclui Corepack para controlar a instalação de gerenciadores de pacotes. Esta é uma ferramenta experimental, então você precisa habilitá-la com o seguinte comando:

corepack enable

Se você instalou o Node.js usando o Homebrew, você precisará instalar o corepack separadamente:

brew install corepack

Isso irá automaticamente instalar pnpm no seu sistema. Entretanto, provavelmente não será a versão mais recente do pnpm. Para atualizá-lo, verifique qual é a última versão do pnpm e execute:

corepack prepare pnpm@<version> --activate

Com o Node.js v16.17 ou mais recente, você pode instalar a versão latest (mais recente) do pnpm ao especificar a tag (etiqueta):

corepack prepare pnpm@latest --activate

Using npm

We provide two packages of pnpm CLI, pnpm and @pnpm/exe.

• pnpm is a ordinary version of pnpm, which needs Node.js to run.
• @pnpm/exe is packaged with Node.js into an executable, so it may be used on a system with no Node.js installed.

npm install -g pnpm

or

npm install -g @pnpm/exe

Using 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.

Compatibility

Here is a list of past pnpm versions with respective Node.js version support.

Node.js	pnpm 5	pnpm 6	pnpm 7	pnpm 8
Node.js 12	✔️	✔️	❌	❌
Node.js 14	✔️	✔️	✔️	❌
Node.js 16	?️	✔️	✔️	✔️
Node.js 18	?️	✔️	✔️	✔️

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

  code: ←[32m'MODULE_NOT_FOUND'←[39m,

}

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.

Como adicionar um alias permanente em sistemas POSIX

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

alias pn=pnpm

Adicionando um alias permanente no 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 o pnpm

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