Unable to install yarn and pnpm globally. about asdf-nodejs HOT 4 CLOSED

I don't regularly use yarn and pnpm so I'm not sure exactly what your issue is. But I do know that in asdf everything is versioned. So if you install something for for NodeJS 11 it's only going to be available in directories that are using NodeJS 11.

Something else you might try is doing something like:

ASDF_NODEJS_VERSION=11.0.0 yarn

See https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf#set-current-version for more info on those environment variables.

Thanks, I will test and will let you know.
I was thinking maybe I use curl to install yarn then install pnpm globally from yarn.
I will keep asdf for node version management. Yarn and pnpm are useful for front-end projects with a lot of dependencies.

However I was able to install yarn via apt-get and then add pnpm globally there.
So now I am using yarn for my global packages and asdf for local installs.

@Stratus3D I was able to install globally with npm install -g --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root --scripts-prepend-node-path . In my case the problem was that I am using a WSL and it only comes with root user (though you can create more) because the user is already logged in as a Windows user. So because my user was root I had to allow it via npm
And it seems like it is running .hook/postinstall for every package which makes it very slow.

I recommend closing the issues that were resolved with asdf reshim (I took a look some users had said that they were able to resolve with this) and focus on better handling of this postinstall script.
