Thanks for reporting but there is not enough information to act on this. |
So whenever I am trying to add a package with yarn, lets say it throws an error which is, And it is behaving the same way for 'install' and 'init' as well |
@SDhalor I had this issue as well. Running it with |
Thank you but it did not work for me |
i am also facing same issue |
I was facing the same problem. I am using Ubuntu (17.04) and used sudo apt install yarn to install yarn. This however, did not install yarn, but a package named cmdtest. You need to follow the installation instructions on the website https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/ and add a repo first. This will then include the correct yarn, but there will still be a conflict when running apt install yarn, since cmdtest is still there. To correct this run the following command: Then run sudo apt install yarn and yarn init should work properly. |
Thanks @rickovermars ! Worked for me ! 😄 |
I am attempting to install yarn on Debian 9 (stretch). I followed the instructions on and it seemed to install correctly (I also setup the path as well), I could run
I then followed the steps provided by @rickovermars but that also results in the same output/error message. Any thoughts on why yarn add fails on Debian 9? Also, I tried installing via one of the alternatives: |
Well this is interesting, I left my Debian up and running all night long and this morning from within Visual Studio Code and its terminal window I ran: dlazov@zovs-debian:~/projects/checkout-app$ yarn add @webcomponents/webcomponentsjs So what I discovered (and shame on me) is that I had to restart my terminal. That was slightly disturbing and embarrassing. So all is well in linux... |
I had to run |
On
then following https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/
and using
Test - version should be more than 0.2X (in my case)

I did not remove the yarn/cmdtest package before to use the command to override the installation of yarn:
Now when I try to install it, I get: Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'cmdtest' instead of 'yarn'

Everything you guys had said, I finally followed @yami12376 instructions but I was still getting cmdtest installing. I had to sudo apt update before running sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" install yarn Now everything works. |
ubuntu 17.10 |
@dmz9 It works for linux mint 18.3 as well. Thanx! |
its so simple just follow me step to step 👍
and later cd go to dir in your app **important everybody forgets it ;) **

Install Yarn for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS reference to link: https://qiita.com/shaching/items/a1e8bf937f1ad049b8cd |
if you have a problem while installing yarn you can simply remove the yarn like [cmdtest] by 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-get update && sudo apt-get install yarn |
Still seeing this on ubuntu 18.04, I hope this will be fixed soon. It's somehow confusing at the first sight. |
running with sudo has worked with me perfectly |
damn useful !!! ubuntu 18.10 . cannot understand why installing yarn is so painful. |
this solved my issue |
@bethwelt , thanks mate, your solution worked for me! |
My issue was copying and pasting both commands as listed in the yarn install guide at one time:
In doing so, the second was not executed. This was verified after inspecting /etc/apt/sources.list. As a result, the yarn package was never made available to If you run |
thank |
Another quick workaround is to install yarn via npm
|
if the error persists after trying to install yarn, close terminal and open a new terminal |
First, remove cmdtest, so run npm install yarn -g. Reload the terminal. |
It worked awesome |
I am using the latest stable release of Ubuntu OS, I had the same issue, but then, I followed the installation guide here, and everything worked perfectly. |
Do as arasemami he said , everything will work fine. |
