This should work.

Solution 3 - Ubuntu 16.04

Not remembering how i've installed yarn the command that worked for me was:

yarn policies set-version

This command updates the current yarn version to the latest stable.

From the documentation:

> Note that this command also is the preferred way to upgrade Yarn - it will work no matter how you originally installed it, which might sometimes prove difficult to figure out otherwise.

I had an outdated symlink that was preventing me from accessing the proper bin. I had also recently gone through a node upgrade which means a lot of my newer bins were available in a different folder with what i think was a lower priority

Here is what worked for me:

yarn -v 
> 1.15.2

which yarn
> /Users/lfender/.yarn/bin/yarn 

rm -rf /Users/lfender/.yarn/bin/yarn
npm uninstall --global yarn; npm install --global yarn

> + [email protected]
> added 1 package in 0.179s

which yarn
> /Users/lfender/.nvm/versions/node/v12.2.0/bin/yarn

yarn -v
> 1.16.0

If you are not using NVM, the location of your bin installs are likely to be unique to your system

From there, I've switched to doing yarn policies set-version as outlined here https://stackoverflow.com/a/55278430/1426788 to define my yarn version at the repo level

Solution 9 - Ubuntu 16.04

According to https://yarnpkg.com/getting-started/install#updating-to-the-latest-versions

yarn set version <version>

For example to upgrade yarn v1.22.4 to v1.22.10:

yarn set version 1.22.10

Solution 10 - Ubuntu 16.04

Works on all OS's

yarn set version latest
yarn set version from sources

Worked without the second line for me, but it is in the documentation for some reason.

Reference

Solution 11 - Ubuntu 16.04

  1. Add Yarn Package Directory:

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

  1. Install Yarn:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install yarn

Please note that the last command will upgrade yarn to latest version if package already installed.

For more info you can check the docs: yarn installation

Solution 12 - Ubuntu 16.04

I updated yarn on my Ubuntu by running the following command from my terminal

> curl --compressed -o- -L https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh | bash

source:https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/cli/self-update

Solution 13 - Ubuntu 16.04

If you already have yarn 1.x and you want to upgrade to yarn 2. You need to do something a bit different:

yarn set version berry

Where berry is the code name for yarn version 2. See this migration guide here for more info.

Solution 14 - Ubuntu 16.04

I tried all of the above solutions in Jenkins pipeline which needs the latest yarn. Finally, this worked for me.

  1. Run yarn policies set-version in the git repo
  2. This will generate .yarn/releases/yarn-X.X.X.js file and .yarnrc file. Push both of these files in the Git repo.
  3. Now build and all the yarn commands will use the yarn-X.X.X version.

Note: This is helpful when you don't have root access to npm install -g yarn.
