Description

When I run purs --version I get an error

PS C:\dev\lang\purescript\project\purescript-book\exercises\chapter2> purs --version
ResourceUnavailable: C:\Users\ammsel\AppData\Roaming\npm\purs.ps1:10
Line |
  10 |  & "$basedir/node_modules/purescript/purs.bin"   $args

This is how I installed purescript

PS C:\dev\lang\purescript\project\purescript-book\exercises\chapter2> npm install -g purescript
npm WARN deprecated har-validator@5.1.5: this library is no longer supported

  run `npm fund` for details

Note that commands such as spago test and spago repl seem to run fine

PS C:\dev\lang\purescript\project\purescript-book\exercises\chapter2> spago repl

Research direction

Reproduce the failure on Windows 10 with the global npm install and inspect the generated purs.ps1 entry point and its invocation of purs.bin. Compare this with the working spago repl and spago test commands; done means purs --version runs successfully after installation.
