SYNOPSIS
pnpx [options] package [args]
DESCRIPTION
pnpx executes npm packages without permanently installing them, similar to npx. It downloads the package to a temporary location, runs the specified command, and cleans up afterward. This is a deprecated alias for pnpm dlx; prefer using pnpm dlx directly.Use --package to specify a package name when the executable name differs from the package name. The @version suffix allows running a specific package version. Packages executed by pnpx are allowed to run postinstall scripts by default.
PARAMETERS
PACKAGE
Package to execute.--package PKG
Package to install (if different from command). Can be specified multiple times.
CAVEATS
pnpx is deprecated in favor of pnpm dlx. Requires pnpm installed. The command runs inside a shell (/bin/sh on Unix, cmd.exe on Windows).
