Installing opencode with pnpm

Help
1

I installed opencode with pnpm:

$ pnpm i -g opencode-ai@latest
$ pnpm approve-builds -g

But when I run it, I get this error:

$ opencode
~/.local/share/pnpm/global/5/.pnpm/opencode-linux-x64@1.1.8/node_modules/opencode-linux-x64/bin/opencode:1
ELF
^

Node.js v24.11.1

How can I fix this error, without installing opencode from nix packages?

i just run bunx opencode-ai, it updates so frequently that’s not really worth “installing” it

I think bunx opencode-ai does not build the “binaries” that pnpm approve-builds -g does.

home-manager/opencode.nix

{ pkgs, … }:

{
home.packages = with pkgs; [
nodejs
(writeShellApplication {
name = “opencode”;
text = ‘’
exec ${nodejs}/bin/npx opencode-ai@latest “$@”
‘’;
})
];
}
