It's better to install pnpm package using the following command:

npm i -g pnpm

pnpm uses hard links and symlinks to save one version of a module only ever once on a disk. When using npm or Yarn for example, if you have 100 projects using the same version of lodash, you will have 100 copies of lodash on disk. With pnpm, lodash will be saved in a single place on the disk and a hard link will put it into the node_modules where it should be installed.

As an example I can mention that whenever you want to install the dependencies of package.json file, what you should do is simply that enter the pnpm i and it handles the other things by itself.
