Yarn is intended to be used with Yarn Switch, a tool letting you use different Yarn versions depending on the project you’re working on.

curl -sS https://repo.yarnpkg.com/install | bash

Caution

You will likely have to restart your terminal session for the changes to take effect.

Once Yarn Switch is ready, just initialize a new project:

yarn init

Updating Yarn

Any time you’ll want to update Yarn to the latest version, just run:

yarn set version latest

Yarn will then configure your project to use the most recent stable binary.
