Yarn not installing in nvm version node version

February 9, 2023 by Tarik

When you install a new node version using nvm and then used npm to install yarn, you need to reinstall the yarn for the new node version.

Try:

nvm install 8.11.3
nvm use 8.11.3
npm install -g yarn

This will install yarn in:

.nvm/versions/node/v8.11.3/

You can then switch between 8.11.0 and 8.11.3 and your yarn will still work.
