Lesson 5: unable to install yarn

[Vanshika0901]

Tried all possible ways of installing yarn, none of them is working for me.

@Vanshika0901 Your node version is greater than 16.10 you do not need to install it, it by default comes with node.js. Just enable it like this:

corepack enable

@CryptoNube use sudo before every command if you are using bash or zsh shell.

@alymurtazamemon
Unfortunately, that does not work. When I try that in powershell, I get the following error:

When I try it in bash, I get : bash: sudo: command not found.
And when I try it in CMD, I get: sudo' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

If I run VSC as admin, corepack enable will work. However, Is there not a way to get this to work without having to run as admin?

@CryptoNube it would work on zsh and bash shell.

Ah...Sorry, I confused bash with git bash.

On closer inspection, corepack enable works on bash even without the sudo command, on node 16.14.2.

However, I was using node 16.17.0 as I already had it installed before starting this amazing course...in which case, neither sudo corepack enable nor corepack enable worked.

v16.17.0
metro@Metro:~/folder$ sudo corepack enable
[sudo] password for metro: 
sudo: corepack: command not found

Once I installed node 16.14.2 nvm 16.14.2, node 16.17.0 worked as well.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!
