Why I cannot install packages with the modern yarn?
- Windows 10
- Node.js LTS 18.16.0
- Yarn v2.x or v3.x
(it works with the old deprecated version v1.22.19)
I installed node and yarn the recommended way (LINK). I tried on a fresh virtual machine too.
Setting up a new repo gives some strange log messages:
C:\source\app1>yarn init
{
name: 'app1',
packageManager: '[email protected]'
}
C:\source\app1>yarn add lodash

and yarn is not setting up the node_packages directory
