Hi

Same problem with Windows 7 Pro (x64)

Seems to be happening where there's a dependency on abbrev as this is also impacting installing yo

Edit:

I also tried manually installing abbrev:

Looks like abbrev may be a package which builds it's native version on the machine when it's installed via npm.

Also in window10 (x64) , I can't globally install.

It resolve by modifying the registry:
old value: https://registry.yarnpkg.com
new value (fixed): https://registry.yarnpkg.com//

add the double backlashes in registry. (yarn config set registry https://registry.yarnpkg.com//)

@altyne that didn't work got a error 500 on packages and install failed

jamesdixon · 2016-11-06T22:53:36Z

I can also confirm this issue.

Can you reproduce this with yarn@latest? I'm not able to recreate the issue using the latest Yarn v0.17.10.

busches · 2016-12-01T21:56:20Z

@xt0rted that's a different error, as you're attempting to install into Program Files which requires admin access. You can run cmd as admin or change the prefix for yarn. Something like yarn config set prefix %AppData%\yarn.

wtchangdm · 2016-12-02T04:15:58Z

Hi, I've installed yarn@latest. pm2 was installed along with several errors and I can't use pm2 command at all.

I've upgraded node js to 7.2.0 though, not sure if it's related.

Errors from @zaggy and @wtchangdm seem to be from node-gyp. Last Two Stack Traces might not be a Yarn Error Do The packages Work Ehrn Installed With Npm?

Ps: Sorry About The Weird Capitalization. Something Is Not Working Well With Swiftkey And This Comment BOx On Github

zaggy · 2016-12-02T12:08:32Z

I have probably found what is the issue. It appears that when yarn installs modules globally it puts executables to this location: C:\Users\User.Name\AppData\Local\Yarn\config\global\node_modules\.bin
And somehow when yarn was installed this location was not added to PATH (maybe because yarn was added using npm in my case). Adding mentioned folder to the PATH fixed the issue with missing executables issue for me.

dylanparry · 2016-12-06T11:34:52Z

The above fix by @zaggy worked for me too.

What I noticed with the PATH on my laptop was that it contained C:\Users\User.Name\AppData\Local\Yarn\.bin, which in my case at least is a directory that doesn't exist and isn't created when adding new packages.

I should also note that I installed Yarn using the .msi file, so it's not just installing it via npm that causes this.

yanxyz · 2016-12-18T05:18:33Z

@zaggy, if the installation command is run as administrator, it would be found that *.cmd files are put together with node.exe in c:\Program Files\nodejs。#1407

skhamoud · 2017-01-03T18:39:55Z

@yanxyz Same thing happens with gulp-cli , if installed w/ admin rights , any gulp command crashes the terminal in my case

etrexel · 2017-01-05T08:02:10Z

@skhamoud Can confirm same issue. When yarn is installed from the msi installer and global packages are added from admin terminal, the resulting .cmd in C:\Program Files\nodejs for any package crashes the terminal.

timfish · 2017-01-16T15:23:15Z

The crashing of the terminal is fixed in the pre-release 0.19.0

ForsakenHarmony · 2017-04-19T23:27:04Z

yeah, it tries to install into C:\Program Files\nodejs for me as well by default

Daniel15 · 2017-05-16T07:51:21Z

This should be fixed in 0.24.x

Daniel15 · 2017-05-27T01:14:10Z

If you install Yarn via npm, you'll need to manually add %LocalAppData%\Yarn\bin to your path. Sent from my phone. On May 27, 2017 4:13 AM, "W.T.

Using Yarn installed via .msi installer (version 0.24.6), then ran yarn add global polymer-cli it installs fine but get error when trying to use polymer-cli.

AvinashGandhasiri · 2017-06-22T23:40:45Z

Installing npm modules globally din't work for me.
I tried installing them in project folder and they worked fine.
config:
windows 10
node.js 4.5.0
npm 2.15.9
run cmd as an administrator and look if the versions are latest and look for errors while running the command

lewisl9029 · 2017-08-09T04:15:59Z

In my case, my path variable was set at %LocalAppData%\Yarn\.bin, when the actual folder was %LocalAppData%\Yarn\bin (without the . in front of bin).

After removing the . everything worked fine again.

Daniel15 · 2017-08-13T22:36:18Z

@lewisl9029 - Which version of Yarn do you have? That should have been fixed in the installer for 0.24.0: 5fc8539

lewisl9029 · 2017-08-13T22:41:50Z

@Daniel15 That makes sense. I installed Yarn quite a while ago so I wouldn't be surprised if I used an installer version prior to 0.24.0. Glad to know it should no longer be a problem for new users!

dandv · 2017-12-06T03:20:21Z

@dandv - This issue is specific to Windows, as it was an issue with the MSI installer. Any Linux issues are unrelated. Please file a separate one.
