On Alpine Linux (3.6+), you can install Yarn with apk.
apk add yarn
Currently, there are no Alpine packages available for RC or nightly builds of Yarn. Please use the tarball:
One of the easiest ways to install Yarn on macOS and generic Unix environments is via our shell script. You can install Yarn by running the following code in your terminal:
curl -o- -L https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh | bash
curl -o- -L https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh | bash -s -- --rc
curl -o- -L https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh | bash -s -- --nightly
The installation process includes verifying a GPG signature. View the source on GitHub
You can also specify a version by running the following code in your terminal:
curl -o- -L https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh | bash -s -- --version [version]
See the releases for possible versions.
You can install Yarn by downloading a tarball and extracting it anywhere.
cd /opt wget https://yarnpkg.com/latest.tar.gz tar zvxf latest.tar.gz # Yarn is now in /opt/yarn-[version]/
cd /opt wget https://yarnpkg.com/latest-rc.tar.gz tar zvxf latest.tar.gz # Yarn is now in /opt/yarn-[version]/
cd /opt wget https://nightly.yarnpkg.com/latest.tar.gz tar zvxf latest.tar.gz # Yarn is now in /opt/yarn-[version]/
Before extracting Yarn, it is recommended that you verify the tarball using GPG:
wget -qO- https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | gpg --import wget https://yarnpkg.com/latest.tar.gz.asc gpg --verify latest.tar.gz.asc # Look for "Good signature from 'Yarn Packaging'" in the output
If Yarn is not found in your PATH, follow these steps to add it and allow it to be run from anywhere.
Note: your profile may be in your .profile, .bash_profile, .bashrc, .zshrc, etc.
export PATH="$PATH:/opt/yarn-[version]/bin" (the path may vary depending on where you extracted Yarn to)To have access to Yarn’s executables globally, you will need to set up the PATH environment variable in your terminal. To do this, add export PATH="$PATH:`yarn global bin`" to your profile.

On Debian or Ubuntu Linux, you can install Yarn via our Debian package repository. You will first need to configure the repository:
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

On Ubuntu 16.04 or below and Debian Stable, you will also need to configure the NodeSource repository to get a new enough version of Node.js.
Then you can simply:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install yarn
Note: Ubuntu 17.04 comes with cmdtest installed by default. If you’re getting errors from installing yarn, you may want to run sudo apt remove cmdtest first. Refer to this for more information.
If using nvm you can avoid the node installation by doing:
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends yarn
Note: Due to the use of nodejs instead of node name in some distros, yarn might complain about node not being installed. A workaround for this is to add an alias in your .bashrc file, like so: alias node=nodejs. This will point yarn to whatever version of node you decide to use.
If Yarn is not found in your PATH, follow these steps to add it and allow it to be run from anywhere.
Note: your profile may be in your .profile, .bash_profile, .bashrc, .zshrc, etc.

You can install Yarn through the Homebrew package manager. This will also install Node.js if it is not already installed.
brew install yarn
If you use nvm or similar, you should exclude installing Node.js so that nvm’s version of Node.js is used.
brew install yarn --without-node
You can install Yarn through MacPorts. This will also install Node.js if it is not already installed.
sudo port install yarn
Currently, there are no Homebrew or MacPorts packages available for RC or nightly builds of Yarn. Please use the tarball:

There are three options for installing Yarn on Windows.
This will give you a .msi file that when run will walk you through installing Yarn on Windows.
If you use the installer you will first need to install Node.js.
Download Installer Download Installer (RC) Download Installer (Nightly)
Chocolatey is a package manager for Windows. You can install Chocolatey by following these instructions.
Once you have Chocolatey installed, you may install yarn by running the following code in your console:
choco install yarn
This will also ensure that you have Node.js installed.
Scoop is a command-line installer for Windows. You can install Scoop by following these instructions.
Once you have Scoop installed, you may install yarn by running the following code in your console:
scoop install yarn
If Node.js is not installed, scoop will give you a suggestion to install it. Example:
scoop install nodejs
Please whitelist your project folder and the Yarn cache directory (%LocalAppData%\Yarn) in your antivirus software, otherwise installing packages will be significantly slower as every single file will be scanned as it’s written to disk.
If you are using another OS or one of the other options specific to your OS will not work for you, there are a couple of alternatives. You will need to install Node.js if you don’t already have it installed.
On common Linux distributions such as Debian, Ubuntu and CentOS, it is recommended to install Yarn via our packages instead.
One of the easiest ways to install Yarn on macOS and generic Unix environments is via our shell script. You can install Yarn by running the following code in your terminal:
curl -o- -L https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh | bash

cd /opt wget https://yarnpkg.com/latest.tar.gz tar zvxf latest.tar.gz # Yarn is now in /opt/yarn-[version]/
cd /opt wget https://yarnpkg.com/latest-rc.tar.gz tar zvxf latest.tar.gz # Yarn is now in /opt/yarn-[version]/
cd /opt wget https://nightly.yarnpkg.com/latest.tar.gz tar zvxf latest.tar.gz # Yarn is now in /opt/yarn-[version]/

Note: Installation of Yarn via npm is generally not recommended. When installing Yarn with Node-based package managers, the package is not signed, and the only integrity check performed is a basic SHA1 hash, which is a security risk when installing system-wide apps.
For these reasons, it is highly recommended that you install Yarn through the installation method best suited to your operating system.
You can also install Yarn through the npm package manager if you already have it installed. If you already have Node.js installed then you should already have npm.
Once you have npm installed you can run:
```sh npm install --global yarn ```
```sh npm install --global yarn@rc ```
Nightly builds of Yarn are not available via npm.
If Yarn is not found in your PATH, follow these steps to add it and allow it to be run from anywhere.
Note: your profile may be in your .profile, .bash_profile, .bashrc, .zshrc, etc.
export PATH="$PATH:/opt/yarn-[version]/bin" (the path may vary depending on where you extracted Yarn to)To have access to Yarn’s executables globally, you will need to set up the PATH environment variable in your terminal. To do this, add export PATH="$PATH:`yarn global bin`" to your profile.
You will need to set up the PATH environment variable in your terminal to have access to Yarn’s binaries globally.
Add set PATH=%PATH%;C:\.yarn\bin to your shell environment.
Test that Yarn is installed by running:
yarn --version
