Anyone got a workaround?

Tried $env.PNPM_HOME = "~/.local/share/pnpm/bin" + adding it to $env.PATH. Trying to globally install a package:

$ pnpm i --global turbo
ERROR  The configured global bin directory "~/.local/share/pnpm/bin" is not in PATH
For help, run: pnpm help add

UPD: Set global-bin-dir=/home/user/.local/share/pnpm/bin in my global npmrc. Not sure why, but it worked, even without $env.PNPM_HOME. We'll see how it goes. I am confused and not sure if it will break my npm global packages, because global npmrc is also being read by npm...

For people who didn't manage to run the install script when using Nu, do the following:

Open a bash shell and temporarily set the value of the SHELL environment variable to bash (so do something like export SHELL=bash). Then you can run the install script:

curl -fsSL https://get.pnpm.io/install.sh | bash -

Most likely, pnpm will be installed to your $HOME/.local/share/pnpm. So add the following to your env.nu (near the end) in ~/.config/nushell:

$env.PNPM_HOME = $"($env.HOME)/.local/share/pnpm"
$env.PATH = ($env.PATH | split row (char esep) | prepend $env.PNPM_HOME )

thanks @tiptenbrink

this works and is also according to nushell updated syntax as of now

Thank you @tiptenbrink

Also works for me.
