Corepack is a zero-runtime-dependency Node script that acts as a bridge between Node projects and the package managers they are intended to be used with during development. In practical terms, **Corepack will let you use Yarn and pnpm without having to install them** - just like what currently happens with npm, which is shipped by Node by default.
Corepack is a zero-runtime-dependency Node.js script that acts as a bridge between Node.js projects and the package managers they are intended to be used with during development. In practical terms, **Corepack will let you use Yarn and pnpm without having to install them** - just like what currently happens with npm, which is shipped by Node.js by default.

**Important:** At the moment, Corepack only covers Yarn and pnpm. Given that we have little control on the npm project, we prefer to focus on the Yarn and pnpm use cases. As a result, Corepack doesn't have any effect at all on the way you use npm.

## How to Install

### Default Installs

Corepack isn't intended to be installed manually. While it's certainly possible, we're working with the Node TSC to provide Corepack by default starting from Node 15, thus ensuring that all package managers can be used with little to no friction.
Corepack is distributed by default with Node.js 16.9, but is opt-in for the time being. Run `corepack enable` to install the required shims.

We do acknowledge the irony and overhead of using npm to install Corepack, which is at least part of why the preferred option is to use the Corepack version that will be distributed along with Node itself.

### Prebuilt Binaries

We have a few prebuilt Node binaries (based on the [following branch](https://github.com/arcanis/node/tree/mael/pmm)) that you can just download, unpack somewhere, and add to your `PATH` environment variable.

1. Go to [this page](https://github.com/arcanis/pmm/actions?query=workflow%3ABuild)
2. Open the latest build (the one at the top)
3. Download the right artifact (Linux or Darwin)
4. Unzip the artifact, then untar it
5. Add the `node-v15.0.0-nightlyYYYY-MM-DDXXXX-linux-x64/bin` directory to your `$PATH`

## Known Good Releases

When running Yarn or pnpm within projects that don't list a supported package manager, Corepack will default to a set of Known Good Releases. In a way, you can compare this to Node, where each version ships with a specific version of npm.

The Known Good Releases can be updated system-wide using the `--activate` flag from the `corepack prepare` and `corepack hydrate` commands.

## Environment Variables

- `COREPACK_ENABLED` has no functional impact on Corepack itself; it's automatically being set in your environment by Corepack when it shells out to the underlying package managers, so that they can feature-detect its presence (useful for commands like `yarn init`).
