I'm using lerna in combination with yarn workspaces.
In that case, all the package hoisting and symlinking is handled by yarn workspaces.
In that particular case, what's the role of the lerna bootsrap command?
Does it bring anything more compared to a raw yarn install?
Should we use it or simply use yarn install?
When it comes solely to the lerna bootstrap command in combination with yarn there is no real benefit as it just calls yarn install.
On the other hand in certain scenarios it can make perfectly sense to combine those two, e.g. when you want to use some lerna helper commands or publish packages from your monorepo.

I'm using modern Yarn (v3.2.4 to be exact) which differs from Yarn Classic.
I'm using the nodeLinker: node-modules option in .yarnrc.yml so /node_modules are created, and dependencies are not saved to the repo.
I want to install only production dependencies (no devDependencies) but the --production flag isn't support in in Yarn 3. How can I do this?
You can use the yarn workspaces focus --production command. Check out the documentation here.
As user Bobby mentioned in the other answer, it is possible to install only production dependencies by using the Yarn Workspace plugin.
This requires that the plugn be installed first: yarn plugin import workspace-tools.
Then install with: yarn workspaces focus --production.
I see with yarn berry I get the plug'n'play feature instead of node_modules/
I couldn't find anything to suggest it supports running from installed packages.
For example with npm a workflow might be to run the installed version of webpack:
$ npm install --save-dev webpack
$ node node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack ...
A globally installed webpack might not be the same version. Worse yet, during Docker deployment, I get what's installed locally, the only node and npm are available globally. I thought I can do a preinstall script that does npm install -g yarn; yarn set version berry but then I'm not sure how to do webpack, jest, babel, etc, and the thought that I should have to install them all globally during the same preinstall hackaround seems like several steps backwards.
Is there some way to run from locally-installed packages that I'm missing?
I saw this possibly related question - Yarn Berry - Run a Node Script Directly
But the answer there seems a bit off the point - I'm not running any js, I'm trying to type in a package.json script, i.e. something that can run from the shell.
Why not just use yarn run <bin> (or simply yarn <bin>)? If you are in a repository set to use yarn berry, that will run any package bin file.
yarn node <file> will run any .js file with Plug n' Play set up. No need to install those dependencies globally, except for maybe yarn classic.
I was trying to do yarn some-bin and kept getting:
Couldn't find a script named "some-bin".
I eventually figured out it was because the package that provides some-bin is installed inside a workspace and not at the root of my project. So instead I had to run:
yarn workspace my-workspace some-bin
And that worked.
On my Windows system I can run yarn install with no issue in my project. But during my Azure build which is running on Ubuntu-16.04 I get the following message:
error: install has been replaced with add to add new dependencies. Run "yarn add yarn build" instead.
Doing a yarn add gives this message:
error: Running this command will add the dependency to the workspace root rather than the workspace itself, which might not be what you want - if you really meant it, make it explicit by running this command again with the -W flag (or --ignore-workspace-root-check).
In my project I have multiple applications all with their own package.json file. If I'm reading the message correctly the yarn add will add all the dependencies to the root file and not in the directories where the package.json files are located.
So how do install the packages per directory/package.json file using yarn add?
Initially I added: yarn add --cwd apps/<foldername>/<foldername> to the build script. You can do this for multiple folders to initiate different builds. But just running yarn from the root also resolved all the different builds.
First, I'm new to React. I'm trying to use Google's Material-UI for my React project. In this tutorial, it says run npm install, but I heard using yarn and npm together in the same project because it might bring about some confusion between those two later. So, I'm trying to stick to yarn only.
npm install seems to install all the dependency package for the thing that I wanna use, but how can I do that in yarn? I tried yarn add, but it didn't work. How can I do that?
EDIT
Just found that it has only package.json, which means I can only use npm install to install dependencies. Would there be no problem when I use yarn later?
You should just be able to run yarn ("Running yarn with no command will run yarn install, passing through any provided flags." So just a simple yarn is what you'd want now, this answer previously suggested yarn install)
Here is a comparison table of most/all the commands you'd likely encounter
Edit Sept 2020: The newer versions of npm have greatly improved and caught up to yarn, so I currently have no clue what possible benefits yarn offers anymore, I'm 100% npm for the last year or so
The equivalent of $ npm install is just $ yarn (without arguments) to install all dependencies from package.json.
Also, just to clarify your query -
Just found that it has only package.json, which means I can only use npm install to install dependencies. Would there be no problem when I use yarn later?
Doesn't matter whether you use yarn or npm, there will always be a package.json.
And no, there won't be a problem when using yarn later.
You get package-lock.json when using npm, and yarn.lock file when using yarn.
It's not recommended to use both yarn and npm for the same project, so you should remove either of package-lock.json and yarn.lock.
In my case it worked as - yarn global add #angular/cli (similarly any dependency)
then added path "C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Yarn\Data\global\node_modules.bin" in "Edit the system environment variables" -> Environment Variables -> Under System Variables select PATH-> click New -> Add the above path then save-> Open new command prompt -> run the dependency command.
yarn install --force
From Yarn's help text on the install command:
--force install and build packages even if they were built before, overwrite lockfile
I had a situation where nom install would install everything and yarn install wouldn't. So maybe try the other package manager?
The Gulp github page says to run
npm install --global gulp-cli
but nearly every tutorial I've come across says to run
npm install -g gulp
Is there any substantial difference between the two options?
They are two different modules, gulp is intended to be installed locally for the project, and gulp-cli globally, this allows you to use different versions of gulp for different projects.
It's mostly a legacy thing, in the past there were no gulp-cli. The gulp team got more knowledge and decided to split it up.
It's recommended to use gulp-cli globally, and gulp locally.
And the Getting Started documentation also prompts you, to delete any globally installed gulp module.
There is no difference between --global and -g the latter is just a shorthand flag.
