'global' file or directory not found for yarn


When I try to use any command using yarn global, like 'yarn global add yo', I get an error saying ERROR: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'global'.

Could not find matching solutions on the internet. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!


Solution

  • A (alternative) solution:

    When I installed yarn using Debian package repository, I got the error mentioned in the question while doing yarn global.

    However, when I installed yarn using npm, like this:

    npm install -g yarn

    I did not get the error anymore upon doing yarn global. Any explanation or detailed answer addressing the issue with installation using Debian package repository is welcome.
