`pnpm` setting steps

[Lomanu4]

Why use pnpm

• Faster then npm
• More dist-efficient (uses symlinks and a content-addressable store)
• Strict by default (prevents dependency hoisting issues)

Steps

1. Install pnpm


npm install -g pnpm
2. Initialize a new project


pnpm init

This command creates a package.json file.

3. Install dependencies


Add a package:


pnpm add <package-name>

Add a dev dependency:


pnpm add -D <package-name>

Example:


pnpm add react
pnpm add -D typescript ts-node
4. Run Scripts


In package.json, define scripts like this:


{
"scripts": {
"start": "node main.js",
"dev": "vite"
}
}

Then run


pnpm start
pnpm dev
5. Install all dependencies


pnpm install

(Shortcut: pnpm i)

6. Other useful commands


Remove a package


pnpm remove <package-name>

Update packages


pnpm update

List installed packages


pnpm list
A few notes when switching to pnpm:

• pnpm creates a pnpm-lock.yaml instead of package-lock.json.
• If you're using a monorepo, pnpm handles it differently (via workspaces).
• You might want to delete node_modules and package-lock.json before switching to avoid conflicts:

rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
pnpm install
