upgrade pnpm via home-brew installation

[ciarantr]

HI all, I installed pnpm using homebrew && I'm having an issue when I upgrade pnpm to the latest version pnpm does not seem to upgrade as well.

Any advice would be appreciated.

@umireon maybe you could help.

Ran into the same problem. brew upgrade pnpm yields 7.1.5. But when I check with pnpm -v I get the old version 6.11.0.

Even a brew uninstall pnpm and brew install pnpm gives yields the same result.

Any update on how to handle this? OR should we just remove PNPM from brew and install with npm?

I have no idea as I don't own a mac. If @umireon can't help or someone else, then I would suggest using the standalone script to install pnpm, corepack, or npm. The standalone script is the best choice because then you may also use pnpm to manage node.js versions.

All the installation methods are here: https://pnpm.io/installation

I solved the issue by reinstalling pnpm. No issues updating pnpm using Homebrew.

brew uninstall pnpm and brew install pnpm still yields the old version for me.

brew link was failing, so running these two before reinstalling helped
rm '/opt/homebrew/bin/pnpm'
rm '/opt/homebrew/bin/pnpx'

This worked for me

I was facing the same issue and after conducting some research:I managed to update pnpm as follows:

version before update: 👇🏻 :
pnpm -v

Update pnpm:👇🏻 :

pnpm add -g pnpm

pnpm updated: 👇🏻 :

I don't believe you're using homebrew here. When installed with homebrew the installiation path will look like

where pnpm
 /opt/homebrew/bin/pnpm

Not /Users/...

[hashaaan]

pnpm add -g pnpm

If ERR_PNPM_NO_GLOBAL_BIN_DIR  Unable to find the global bin directory

pnpm setup

source /Users/<user>/.zshrc

pnpm add -g pnpm

source /Users/<user>/.zshrc

pnpm -v

When using corepack from Node (since v16.13), run below command:

corepack install -g pnpm@latest
