Global Install NPM Packages on GNU Guix

+

+This post is not exactly a tutorial, but rather a record for myself. I've already needed to configure npm on Guix a few times and, inevitably, I ended up forgetting the steps when I installed the system again. To avoid wasting time in the future, I leave here the procedure that always solves the problem for me. +

+ +

+When trying to install packages globally with npm, the error is usually this: +

+ +
+
home@user ~/workspace/dump$ npm i --global @volar/typescript
+npm error code ENOENT
+npm error syscall mkdir
+npm error path /gnu/store/7wn5cq17bjndjxqpzlp6icyyyfxz36bf-node-22.14.0/lib/node_modules/@volar
+npm error errno -2
+npm error enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, mkdir '/gnu/store/...'
+npm error enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
+npm error A complete log of this run can be found in: /home/user/.npm/_logs/2025-12-05T18_11_26_115Z-debug-0.log
+
+
+ +

+The problem happens because Guix, like NixOS, keeps the /gnu/store directory immutable. npm tries to write there and fails. The practical solution is to redirect global packages to a directory in $HOME. +

+
+

Step by step

+
+
+
# Create a directory for global packages:
+mkdir ~/.npm-global
+
+# Configure npm prefix:
+npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'
+
+# Add the new path to PATH:
+export PATH="$HOME/.npm-global/bin:$PATH"
+
+# Confirm that the configuration has been applied:
+npm config get prefix
+/home/user/.npm-global
+
+# Install the desired package:
+npm install -g @volar/typescript
+added 5 packages in 1s
+
+
+ +

+There are other ways around this limitation, but working with npm (and other package managers) in Guix can be a bit of a pain. This simple adjustment is often enough to avoid headaches in most cases. +

Pluto Review

12 Feb 2025

I would dare to say that Pluto is an anime carried almost entirely by its direction and art, while its story leaves something to be desired in many respects. I had difficulties with the way the author approached the problems inherent in the type of narrative he chose. In this review, I won't go into the technical aspects of animation and direction since I don't have enough knowledge to evaluate them. My focus will be on the writing and storytelling.
