As of now, pnpx is still present when you install pnpm through npm (and probably through some other installation methods). But it is not present if you install pnpm using the standalone script.

Overall, pnpm dlx is not a frequently used command, so I personally think it is not worth the effort to ship an additional binary. You can always create aliases if you want to type less. pnpx used to be more frequently used when it was also used for executing local binaries. However, now you should execute local binaries with pnpm <binary name>.

Thanks for the answer. I asked because I work with Vue, Nuxt and NestJS, and I find myself executing a lot of code with "npx" so I immediately convert it to pnpx and it works. For example, pnpm nuxi init nuxt-app doesn't work. Only pnpx nuxi init nuxt-app and pnpm dlx init nuxt-app work.

Also pnpx prisma generate and pnpx prisma init for Prisma.

So in this case, should I keep using pnpx, or is pnpm dlx the recommended?
