pnpm tricks

pnpm is a package manager for Node.js. It saves and caches the dependencies of your project. It does not install packages, if they are already installed by another project rather re-use the same packages thus saves lot of space on your disk.

$ pnpm install react-router --save

ERR_PNPM_UNEXPECTED_STORE  Unexpected store location

The dependencies at "/Users/sam/Dev/react-all-in-one/node_modules" are currently linked from the store at "/Users/XXXXX/Library/pnpm/store/v3".

pnpm now wants to use the store at "/Users/sam/Library/pnpm/store/v3" to link dependencies.

If you want to use the new store location, reinstall your dependencies with "pnpm install".

You may change the global store location by running "pnpm config set store-dir <dir> --global".
(This error may happen if the node_modules was installed with a different major version of pnpm)

pnpm install
