Vercel now supports pnpm v8. For deployments with a `pnpm-lock.yaml` file with `lockfileVersion: '6.0',` Vercel will automatically use pnpm v8 for install and build commands.

To upgrade your project to pnpm v8, run `pnpm install -g pnpm@8` locally and then re-run `pnpm install` to generate the new `pnpm-lock.yaml` file. After updating, create a new deployment for the changes to take effect.

If you want to specify an exact version of pnpm in your Vercel project, enable [Corepack](https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/deployments/configure-a-build#corepack) (experimental).
