Can this tool be installed during the build?

The documentation says to run "npm install -g pnpm" to install it.  We have a stance of not installing tools during runtime, but rather baking them into the image.  To keep pipelines from altering the base OS and tools installed.

Greetings,

I created this request as a duplicate of #2279 , but for Azure DevOps usage. Rather than for Github Actions. Sorry if this is also a duplicate, but I'm unaware of functionality to specify pnpm as the package manager like what's described for the Github Action.

Hi! Yes, it is still a duplicate of #2279. And yes, for Azure DevOps there really is no separate module that can install the requested tool in "one line" or something like that. But you can look at the official instructions for use or the example of use in the community.
