I am trying to publish my cli tool in npm and when I install it globally it does not add the binary command correctly.

It works if I leave the binary in the dist folder but it adds about 80mb to the package and I’m honestly not happy.

This is the package

https://www.npmjs.com/package/term-toolkit

Any ideas?

re-install, create a script to build the file in “postinstall”, just use a .js file no a binary

Examples:

npm install -g term-toolkit

try to run

term-toolkit -h

zsh: command not found: term-toolkit
