NPX Plugin

npx(1) -- execute npm package binaries. (more info)

This plugin automatically registers npx command-not-found handler if npx exists in your $PATH.

Setup

• Add plugin to ~/.zshrc

plugins=(.... npx)

• Globally install npx binary (npx will be auto installed with recent versions of Node.js)

sudo npm install -g npx

Note

The shell auto-fallback doesn't auto-install plain packages. In order to get it to install something, you need to add @:

➜  jasmine@latest # or just `jasmine@`
npx: installed 13 in 1.896s
Randomized with seed 54385
Started

It does it this way so folks using the fallback don't accidentally try to install regular typoes.
