# Install pnpm with Homebrew, apk, chocolatey, dnf, MacPorts, Nix, pacman, scoop, winget, zypper Fast, disk space efficient package manager. Version 11.10.0 via Homebrew; verified 2026-07-04. ## Install ```sh sudo av install brew:pnpm ``` ## Agent safety answer pnpm manages JavaScript dependencies and package publishing with access to project scripts. - **Credential access:** Reads npmrc tokens, environment variables, and package lifecycle script inputs. - **Remote mutation:** Can install dependency trees and run scripts that call external services. - **Publish/artifact risk:** Can publish npm packages and produce release bundles. - **Recommended control:** Gate publish, lifecycle scripts, and credentialed registry operations. - **Agent-use guidance:** Allow lockfile and test commands after scan; require approval for publish and install-script execution.
