# pnpm Fast Disk-Efficient Package Manager

pnpm is a fast, disk space efficient package manager for Node.js that uses a content-addressable storage and hard links to deduplicate dependencies. and adoption by Microsoft, Vue, and other major organizations, pnpm provides strict dependency isolation and monorepo workspace support.

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- pnpm uses a content-addressable filesystem to store all files from all module directories on a disk.
- pnpm update will only add 1 new file to the storage.
- pnpm is up to 2x faster than npm and Yarn classic. See all benchmarks [here](https://r.pnpm.io/benchmarks).

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- **Works as a Node.js version manager.** See [pnpm runtime](https://pnpm.io/11.x/cli/runtime).
- why it works fine with the Node.js ecosystem, read this small article: [Flat node_modules is not the only way](https://pnpm.io/blog/2020/05/27/flat-node-modules-is-not-the-only-way).

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- **Battle-tested.** Used in production by teams of [all sizes](https://pnpm.io/workspaces#usage-examples) since 2016.
