pnpm - Shell-Bash

pnpm is a package manager for JavaScript. It is fast, disk space efficient and provides simple versioning semantics. It is built on top of the npm registry and can be used as a drop-in replacement for npm.

Features

• Fast and efficient: pnpm optimizes your package installation by linking packages that have the same dependencies, so they don't have to be duplicated on disk. This can save a lot of disk space and make installation much faster.

• Saves disk space: With pnpm, files are shared between packages, so disk space usage is efficient.

• Simple versioning: Version numbers are managed in a flat file called a shrinkwrap.yaml, which makes version management much simpler.

• Works with npm: pnpm works seamlessly with the npm registry, so any package that is available through npm is also available through pnpm.

• Shell-Bash interface: pnpm is accessible through a Shell-Bash interface, which makes usage more versatile.

Installation

pnpm can be installed globally using npm:

npm install -g pnpm

Once installed, you can use pnpm from the command line. It has a wide range of commands to help you manage your JavaScript projects. Here are a few examples:

• pnpm install: Install all dependencies for your project.
