pnpx: Execute a specific binary from a given npm module, in case the module has multiple binaries.
$ pnpx --package ${package_name} ${module_name}
try on your machine

The command pnpx --package ${package_name} ${module_name} is used to execute a specific module that is installed locally within a package.

Here is the breakdown of the different parts of the command:

  • pnpx: This is a command provided by the pnpm package manager. It is used to run an executable module within a package.

  • --package: This flag indicates that the following argument is the name or location of the package where the module is installed.

  • ${package_name}: This is a placeholder for the actual name or location of the package where the module is installed. You need to replace ${package_name} with the appropriate package name or location.

  • ${module_name}: This is a placeholder for the actual name of the module you want to execute. You need to replace ${module_name} with the name of the module you want to run.

By providing the package name and module name, the command will execute the specified module within the specified package.
