Install Yarn without messing up nvm
Raw
yarn-install.md

Yarn documentation now says that Yarn can be installed on a Mac, via Homebrew, without node, like this:

brew install yarn --without-node

yarn depends on node : it does not function without it. #31510 provides context. Instead of trying to install without Homebrew’s node try adjusting your PATH so nvm's node s are before Homebrew’s node.

The last few times, simply running brew upgrade yarn worked without breaking nvm's node.

brew install yarn seems to work by itself now?
