pnpm

Installing pnpm

pnpm is managed via Corepack, which ships with Node.js >= 16.13.0. Corepack reads the packageManager field in the root package.json and automatically uses the correct pnpm version — no manual pnpm installation required.

To enable Corepack, run:

corepack enable

After that, pnpm will be available and pinned to the version declared in package.json. You can verify it is working with:

pnpm --version

Note: If you have pnpm installed via another method (e.g. npm i -g pnpm), Corepack may conflict with it. It is recommended to uninstall any globally installed pnpm and rely solely on Corepack.

Updating pnpm

To update the pnpm version, follow these steps:

1. Update the packageManager field in the root package.json to the desired version:

   "packageManager": "pnpm@x.x.x"

2. Execute the commands below to ensure the installation is successful:

   pnpm install && pnpm run setup

3. Verify that the top-level package.json file includes the packageManager field with the updated version.

4. Update the packageManager field in the package.json file located at teraslice/packages/teraslice-cli/test/fixtures/testAssetWithBuild to match the updated pnpm version. After making the change, run the following command in the same directory to update the lock file:

   pnpm install

5. Update the packageManager field in the package.json file located in the teraslice/website directory to reflect the updated pnpm version.
