  1. When installed from console it is showing below message:
    A store server is running. All store manipulations are delegated to it.
    WARN using --shamefully-flatten is discouraged, you should declare all of your dependencies in package.json
    ERROR EACCES: permission denied, mkdir ‘/home/nvm/.nvm/versions/node/v8.11.3/pnpm-global/1_shamefully_flatten’

  2. It is installed from package.json successfully but when i accessed from console it is showing below message :
    module.js:549
    throw err;

Can anybody guide me how to fix this problem ?

It looks like doing the global install is the problem.

Here’s what tipped me off:

Apparently Glitch makes locally-installed packages available globally too… so drop the “-g” flag and it should work fine.

Hello, sorry for such a late reply. If you install the CLI module as a dev dependency pnpm i --save-dev <module> then it will make the binary files available in node_modules/.bin/<binary-file> The binary-file would be the same as the command you’d call when using firebase. Example with the vue cli:

# Install vue-cli module
pnpm i --save-dev vue-cli

# Initiate a new webpack project.
./node_modules/.bin/vue init webpack

Hope it helps, have a nice weekend!
