So I just setup Arch in WSL to give this a test and Arch comes with a rename binary already installed. So your best bet if you want to use this is to do the following:

1. Clone or download the repo
2. Open package.json in your editor of choice
3. Remove the line "rename": "./bin.js", and save
4. From the repository folder run sudo npm i -g
5. Use the rname command

Or if you are never going to use the other rename command you can run npm install with the --force option to wipe it out.

Edit: I'm also looking into options for choosing a binary name

With the edit I get it installed BUT not started.

What version of Arch are you using? Also what version of Node?

I just did a quick test with Arch in Windows Subsystem for Linux and with Node 14 installed via NVM I was able to install and run like normal.

[se7en-x230]

Arch is a rolling release so it has no version. Usally the newest packages are available.

I have 15.3.0 installed.
community/nodejs 15.3.0-1

I also tried
nodejs-lts-fermium - For 14.X version
nodejs-lts-erbium - For 12.X version
nodejs-lts-dubnium - For 10.X version

with the same errors
