Executable `prettier` not found · Issue #1516 · pre-commit/pre-commit

hello hello!

As discussed on discord, I'm having an issue running prettier via pre-commit:

$ pre-commit --version
pre-commit 2.5.1

$ cat .pre-commit-config.yaml
repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/prettier/prettier
    rev: 2.0.5
    hooks:
      - id: prettier

$ pre-commit clean
Cleaned /home/rkm/.cache/pre-commit.

> pre-commit run prettier --files README.md

it seems like prettier is installed correctly, but the symlink to it is not created:

$ find ~/.cache/pre-commit/ -name prettier.js
/home/rkm/.cache/pre-commit/repoes79dg4v/bin/prettier.js

$ ls -l $(find ~/.cache/pre-commit/ -name node_env-default)/bin

-rwxr-xr-x. 1 rkm rkm      355 Jun 17 17:30 shim

(doing the same in a docker container results in a prettier symlink being created there).

I suspect my VM may be borked somehow, but not sure how to debug this further. Any thoughts? Thanks!
