Package Manager Install & Setup

This skill guides you through installing and configuring a JavaScript/TypeScript package manager toolchain in this exact order:

npm  (comes with Node.js)  →  pnpm (via npm)  →  bun (via pnpm global)

Each tool is installed using the previous one.

How to use this skill

1. If the user needs step-by-step installation instructions → read references/setup-guide.md
2. If the user needs validation of existing setup → run python scripts/validate.py and interpret the results
3. If the user reports "command not found" → read the Troubleshooting section in references/setup-guide.md

Quick reference

# Install
npm install -g pnpm          # install pnpm via npm
pnpm add -g bun              # install bun via pnpm
pnpm setup                   # configure PATH for global bins

# Validate
python scripts/validate.py

# Verification
node --version && npm --version && pnpm --version && bun --version
