nodenv:tldr:1698c

nodenv: Display the location of a Node.js installed command (e.g. `npm`).
$ nodenv which ${command}
try on your machine

The command nodenv which ${command} is used to determine the location of the binary executable file associated with a specific command in the nodenv environment.

Here's an explanation of the different components of the command:

  • nodenv: This refers to the nodenv command-line tool, which is used to manage different versions of the Node.js runtime environment on a single machine. nodenv allows you to install and switch between different Node.js versions.

  • which: which is a command used to locate the binary file associated with a given command in the system's PATH. It is commonly used to determine the location of executables.

  • ${command}: This is a placeholder for the specific command you want to find the binary for. You would replace ${command} with the actual command you are interested in. For example, if you wanted to find the binary location of the node command, you would use nodenv which node.

By executing this command, nodenv will search for the specified command in the installed Node.js versions managed by nodenv and report the location of the binary executable file for that command.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
