Please open terminal and run:

yarn global bin

Then:

echo $PATH;

I bet you do not have path to yarn global binaries in your $PATH - that's why you cannot run it from each place. More about this here

To solve this you should modify your $PATH variable. You could use (just tested it on Ubuntu 20.04):

export PATH="$(yarn global bin):$PATH"

Unfortunately, it will work only for the current terminal. If you want to have it permanently, you want to modify your ~/.bashrc. More about this here

@Fifciu Yep, that was the issue, thanks 🙂
