Run npx vitest from command line.

The above will work if you have Node installed. npx (node package executor) will automatically search for vitest and execute it or even download it and run it from cache.

Here is a good explanation on how npx works.

You should install the package globally using npm or yarn. Don't forget to use sudo if you are in Mac or Linux.

npm install -g vitest

Ensure that your dependencies are installed by running pnpm install, and then try adding a new script to your package.json file for running your tests. For example:

  "scripts": {
    "dev": "vite",
    "build": "vite build",
    "test": "vitest --ui",
  },

Enter the pnpm run test command in your terminal to run the script.
