Can I use npx
together with a pnpm
install?
It doesn't seem to work and pnpx
fetches remote dependencies, it seems more like npm create
.
Is there a way to use npx
with pnpm
to execute local binaries or is there a different pnpm
equivalent?
The are are two key uses of npx
.
Running executables inside your downloaded dependencies
For example npx jest
.
The pnpm equivalent is pnpm exec jest
.
Running executable commands in packages you want to download transiently
For example npx create-react-app my-app
.
The pnpm equivalent of this is pnpm dlx create-react-app my-app
.
Note: There used to be a pnpx
command, but it has been deprecated.
