[dimaskc]

Nothing weird, just normal installation guide on readme

Description

After i install np, and run, it returns error:

/Users/dimas/.nvm/versions/node/v18.17.1/lib/node_modules/np/node_modules/import-local/index.js:23
        return !filenameInLocalNodeModules && localFile && path.relative(localFile, normalizedFilename) !== '' && require(localFile);
                                                                                                           ^

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /Users/dimas/Acode/web/knowledgecatalyst/afap/node_modules/.pnpm/np@8.0.4/node_modules/np/source/cli.js from /Users/dimas/.nvm/versions/node/v18.17.1/lib/node_modules/np/node_modules/import-local/index.js not supported.
Instead change the require of cli.js in /Users/dimas/.nvm/versions/node/v18.17.1/lib/node_modules/np/node_modules/import-local/index.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.

Your globally installed version of np is older than your locally installed one, I believe.

---

Edit: actually @sindresorhus, does import-local need updating? It’s still CJS.

---

Edit 2: never mind, looking closer we’re already passing import.meta.url to it.

[dimaskc]

I'm sure that both versions are match.

Global

Locally installed

But thanks for your answer, I ended up uninstalling the local np and use the global one.
