Question

I following this online tutorial on downloading and installing web files from GIT HUB. I got down to the topic: Starting Our Static Website, there I'm prompted to enter the commands to download and install the web files. However, when I enter the command yarn install, I get the following prompt: bash: yarn: command not found
How can this problem be resolved?
I'm using GIT Bash command prompt on Windows 10.

Answer 1

If you are using Mintty (Bash) then you simply do npm install -g yarn

Answer 2

You probably just did not install yarn yet.
Have a look at the yarn installation for Windows here:
https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/

Answer 3

The official Yarn setup does not tell you you need to restart your computer, but you actually have to before you can use it from your shell. So, install it from
https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/#windows-stable
then restart your PC and you should be able to run yarn from your console.

Answer 4

Working in Visual Studio Code?
Open a new terminal
Click "Terminal" → "New Terminal"
or
Simply use ctrl+shift+` (backtick)
(this backtick button is on the left of the 1 key and below Esc)
Once the Terminal is active, install Yarn by running npm install -g yarn.
Verify the installation was successful by running yarn --version.

Answer 5

I followed the official yarn installation for windows but is loading a page no found on github
https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/releases/download/v1.22.17/yarn-1.22.17.msi
so I had to the manual way which is adding the path into the environment variables
asuming you already have installed npm, if you are not sure type in the terminal npm -v
install yarn on the terminal using npm install --global yarn
check the yarn packages has been installed on
C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\yarn
if you can see the package on your node_modules you just need to add the bin folder that is inside the yarn into your environment variables
On the Windows taskbar, right-click the Windows icon and select System.
In the Settings window, under Related Settings, click Advanced system settings.
On the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables.
Click on Edit and add C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\yarn
Press ok save open a new terminal and try running yarn -v

Answer 6

What resolved this for me was repairing my Node install:
Go to Add or remove programs
Search for "Node.js"
Choose Modify
Choose Next and then Repair
After doing that I was able to run yarn without issue.

Answer 7

If you install yarn through MSI on windows10, and the software installed on C:\Program Files (x86)\Yarn\bin, but the path set in C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Yarn\.bin, so change the path(both user and system) to C:\Program Files (x86)\Yarn\bin.

Answer 8

Try to type yarn.cmd on git bash, it should work fine.
for example: yarn.cmd --version.

Answer 9

Please check first that yarn is install or not globally
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\yarn
If there is, then add this to your environment variable
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\yarn\bin

Answer 12

It looks like there might be an issue with Yarn and certain environments. See this GitHub issue for more details.

Answer 14

Read through this if nothing helps:
https://bobbyhadz.com/blog/not-recognized-as-internal-or-external-command-yarn
for me i had to add environment variables as npm did not install in the "correct"/standard folder
On Windows, the output of the npm config get prefix command will look something like: C:\Users\Your_User_Name\AppData\Roaming\npm.
To update the PATH on a Windows machine, you have to:
Open the start search and type in env and then click "Edit the system environment variables"
Then click "Environment Variables"
Edit the Path variable and add the output you got from the npm config get prefix command.
The path should look like C:\Users\Your_User_Name\AppData\Roaming\npm (make sure to replace the Your_User_name placeholder with your actual username).

If you don't have npm, you can do the following (taken from yarn installation instructions):
curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt install yarn
