is there a way to set the package manager used by the pulumi cli? I prefer to use `pnpm` rather than `npm` or ``yarn``

We recently added the ability to use yarn instead of npm - but it looks like we hardcored yarn there instead of allowing and alternative command to run - <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/pull/3556>. 

Could you open an issue with this request?

let me have a look at what was done for that and maybe I can contrib back

turns out pulumi relies on some transitive dependencies in order to run `up` so some resources can’t be found. I’ll gather some information and create an issue

<@UR37X3TS7> How does it turn out for you using Pulumi with `pnpm`?
Last time I tried this (month ago), I got stuck that `pnpm` can’t build/download the needed `grpc` dependency. Maybe that changed?

I would prefer to use `pnpm` as well. That will download a Pulumi provider binaries one time wherever I’ll use it locally. Besides the clearly &amp; reliably resolved dependencies.

Ran into issues with a reliance on translative dependencies when building lambda functions that I haven’t been able to resolve.

<@UR37X3TS7> Oh, ok. Can you give some details?
I think the `grpc` issue I experienced can be solved otherways. I’ll try to use `pnpm` again now :slightly_smiling_face:
