nix shell minimal node + pnpm development environment

.envrc

use nix

Readme.md

Replacement for nvm and other version managers.

requires:

• nix-shell
• direnv

Notes:

sudo npm install -g doesnt't work well with under nix-shell.

To install npm packages globally without sudo, change the npm global directory:

$ mkdir ~/.npm-global
$ npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'

Add the directory to the PATH variable, so that your system knows where to find the globally installed modules:

echo "export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.profile
