@BaghiStef : If you have node.js in your system :

Run the following command : npm install --global yarn

No, i have just installed npm, if I try to type corepack enable it will give me this error which i wrote before:

Internal Error: EACCES: permission denied, symlink '../lib/node_modules/corepack/dist/pnpm.js' -> '/usr/local/bin/pnpm'
Error: EACCES: permission denied, symlink '../lib/node_modules/corepack/dist/pnpm.js' -> '/usr/local/bin/pnpm'

It does not allow me to intsall yarn, i donnot know why

[BaghiStef]

I have node.js in my system and maybe that's why, I will just go with npm solc and everything

[BaghiStef]

And if I type yarn --version it says:

zsh: command not found: yarn

@BaghiStef : Alright then now follow the steps below:

• On the command line, in your home directory, create a directory for global installations:

1. mkdir ~/.npm-global

• Configure npm to use the new directory path:

2. npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'

• In your preferred text editor, open or create a ~/.profile file and add this line:

3. export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH

• On the command line, update your system variables:

4. source ~/.profile

• To test your new configuration, install a package globally:

5. corepack enable

   Install global yarn:
   npm install --global yarn

@BaghiStef First you should check the node version. Corepack is distributed by default with Node.js 14.19.0 and 16.9.0, if you have a version in this range, then you should simply use corepack enable. Otherwise, you can install it with this command npm install -g corepack.

And for installing yarn globally use this command npm install --global yarn, and if this give error something like permission issues then you can run the same command as an administrative by adding sudo in front of the command sudo npm install --global yarn

If any command issues you permission issue, then simply add sudo at the start of it.
