Yarn is using an incompatible version of node, inspite of being installed w nvm

So, yarn is installd on the bin for v16.4.2 and yet...

jmccarrell-MBP:g2r-android jmccarrell$ nvm version
v16.14.2
jmccarrell-MBP:g2r-android jmccarrell$ which yarn
/Users/jmccarrell/.nvm/versions/node/v16.14.2/bin/yarn
jmccarrell-MBP:g2r-android jmccarrell$ yarn
yarn install v1.22.10
[1/5] 🔍  Validating package.json...
error [email protected]: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version ">=16". Got "14.17.0"
error Found incompatible module.

It appears illogical, so what am i missing?

How can I futher troubleshoot this?

I'm stuck.

Solution

  • So the commenter Ravi was correct.

    i needed to uninstall volta. dont have both nvm and volta installed; especially if you intend to forget about one of those tools and it gets out of date.
