# Setup pnpm

Install pnpm package manager.

> ## :warning: Upgrade from v2!
>
> The v2 version of this action [has stopped working](https://github.com/pnpm/action-setup/issues/135) with newer Node.js versions. Please, upgrade to the latest version to fix any issues.

## Migrating to pnpm/setup

[`pnpm/setup`](https://github.com/pnpm/setup) installs pnpm v11+ as a native standalone executable and can install Node.js, Bun, or Deno in the same step, so a typical workflow no longer needs `actions/setup-node` or an explicit `pnpm install` step:

```yaml
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v6

# Before:
# - uses: pnpm/action-setup@v6
# with:
# version: 10
# cache: true
# - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
# with:
# node-version: 22
# - run: pnpm install

# After:
- uses: pnpm/setup@v1
with:
version: 11
runtime: node@22
cache: true

```

The `version` input can be omitted only when `packageManager` (or `devEngines.packageManager`) in `package.json` declares pnpm v11 or newer; otherwise keep it explicit, since `pnpm/setup` requires pnpm v11+.

Input and output changes:

| `pnpm/action-setup` | `pnpm/setup` | Notes |
| ------------------- | ------------ | ----- |
| `version` | `version` | Must resolve to pnpm v11 or newer. As before, it can be omitted when `packageManager` (or `devEngines.packageManager`) is set in `package.json`. |
| `dest` | `dest` | Unchanged. |
| `run_install` | `install` | `pnpm/setup` runs `pnpm install` automatically when a `package.json` is present (`install: true` by default); set `install: false` to skip it. The object/array form (`recursive`, `cwd`, `args`) is not supported — run those commands in separate steps. |
| `cache` | `cache` | Unchanged. |
| `cache_dependency_path` | `cache-dependency-path` | Renamed to kebab-case. |
| `package_json_file` | `package-json-file` | Renamed to kebab-case. |
| `standalone` | removed | `pnpm/setup` always installs the standalone native executable. |
| n/a | `runtime` | New: installs Node.js, Bun, or Deno (e.g. `node@22`, `bun@latest`, `deno@2`), or reads `devEngines.runtime` from `package.json`. |
| n/a | `token` | New: GitHub token for release lookup; defaults to `${{ github.token }}` and rarely needs to be set. |
| `bin_dest` (output) | `bin-dest` (output) | Renamed to kebab-case. New outputs `runtime-name` and `runtime-version` describe the installed runtime. |

## Notes

This action does not setup Node.js for you, use [actions/setup-node](https://github.com/actions/setup-node) yourself.
This action does not set up Node.js. Use [actions/setup-node](https://github.com/actions/setup-node) yourself. If you are on pnpm v11 or newer, [`pnpm/setup`](https://github.com/pnpm/setup) can install pnpm and Node.js in a single step.
