How to execute global packages
Emily Wong 
I'm trying to start an AWS CDK Project using pnpm v8.0.0 as my package manager. Then, I've followed these steps:
- Installed [email protected] globally:
pnpm install -g aws-cdk - Created a new directory:
mkdir my-dir && cd my-dir - Tried to execute the 'init' command:
pnpm exec cdk init app --language=typescript
However, I've got the following pnpm error: ERR_PNPM_RECURSIVE_EXEC_FIRST_FAIL Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '/home/user/my-dir')
I've tried to workaround this by installing aws-cdk locally: pnpm init && pnpm install -D aws-cdk and then running the same pnpm exec... command and then I've got a aws-sdk error: cdk init cannot be run in a non-empty directory!
The pnpm docs is clear about exec: Execute a shell command in scope of a project.
My question is: How use pnpm to execute global packages?
