fix-npm-issue-laravel-mix

# Linux VM (Homestead) on a Windows 10 host
# Doing npm install --no-bin-links on Laravel 5.5 results to an error
# added info: we migrated from Laravel 5.2
# to fix, install yarn

$ sudo npm install -g yarn

# delete your node_modules folder (optional but to be safe, do this as well)
$ rm -rf node_modules

# clear cache, install again but using yarn
$ composer clear-cache
$ sudo npm cache clear -f 
$ sudo yarn install --no-bin-links

# no need to do this if not Windows
$ yarn global add cross-env --no-bin-links

# run dev
$ yarn run dev
