I scrolled the entire page looking for links to binaries.
It is beyond me how any of the installation methods listed on https://pnpm.io/installation are preferential to downloading an official binary directly from Github.
A simple link at the top (Download the binary for your platform) is much simpler for those of us who know what we are doing. And much safer for those of us who don't know what we are doing, especially executing a remote script (in light of supply chain attacks). The remote script can not even be previewed before it is downloaded due to its Content-Type headers.
None of the methods advertised allow straightforward-ly knowing where pnpm is installed. Download the binary directly, place it in some folder, and add it to PATH. Way way simpler
