Installation

Prérequis

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.

En utilisant un script autonome

Vous pouvez installer pnpm même si vous n'avez pas installé Node.js, en utilisant les scripts suivants.

Sur Windows

En utilisant PowerShell:

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

POSIX :

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

Si vous n'avez pas installé curl, vous pouvez utiliser wget:

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

Sur 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 -

Installation d'une version spécifique

Avant d'exécuter le script d'installation, vous pouvez éventuellement définir une variable d'environnement PNPM_VERSION pour installer une version spécifique de pnpm :

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

astuce

Vous pouvez ensuite utiliser la commande pnpm env pour installer Node.js.

En utilisant Corepack

Depuis la v16.13, Node.js propose Corepack pour gérer les gestionnaires de paquets. Il s'agit d'une fonctionnalité expérimentale, vous devez donc l'activer en exécutant :

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

En utilisant 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

En utilisant Homebrew

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

brew install pnpm

En utilisant winget

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

winget install pnpm

En utilisant Scoop

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

scoop install nodejs-lts pnpm

En utilisant Choco

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

choco install pnpm

Using Volta

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

volta install pnpm

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	?️	✔️	✔️	✔️
Node.js 20	?️	?	✔️	✔️

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.

Ajout d'un alias permanent sur les systèmes POSIX

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

alias pn=pnpm

Ajout d'un alias permanent dans 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.

Désinstaller pnpm

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