Maybe comments in these issues could help: #1215 npm/cli#2147 (comment)

Please check your ~/.npmrc (maybe bin-links is set to false), your shell configurations (for suspicious environment variables), etc.

I'm converting this issue to a discussion because it is very unlikely a Vite bug.
We need to keep the issue tracker clean to focus more on concrete bugs and feature requests.
