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.

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 have to run a script (from my package.json file) before I run yarn install. The script sets up the configuration for a private package. In my .yarnrc.yml, I have nodeLinker: node-modules (and I want to keep it that way because I get other errors if I remove it).
The problem is that when I run yarn run myscript I have the following error:
Usage Error: Couldn't find the node_modules state file - running an install might help (findPackageLocation)
$ yarn run [--inspect] [--inspect-brk] [-T,--top-level] [-B,--binaries-only] <scriptName> ...
But I can't run install before the script since I have private packages that need the script before it gets installed.
I just switched from NPM to Yarn 3.2.0. With NPM, I was able to run the script before installing packages.
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?
I am using TeamCity as my CI server(mac).I am trying to build a web project. When I use grunt serve or grunt buildproduction after changing directory to the cloned folder,it's working perfectly fine.But when I do this via TeamCity server it is giving an error You need to have Ruby and Compass installed and in your system PATH for this task to work and gets aborted due to warnings. Ruby and Compass is already installed in the server.Please help me on this.
rm -rf $(pwd)/node_modules/*
rm -rf $(pwd)/bower_components/*
npm cache clear
npm install
npm install bower
npm install grunt-ftp-push --save-dev
bower install
grunt buildproduction
This is the Command Line buildstep which I used in Teamcity..
I would say you probably use a different user or the shell environment is different (interactive vs non-interactive) when you run these commands manually and when it runs through TC it can't find those packages in the environment/PATH
I'm trying to use grunt with sass and have been following these guides:
http://gruntjs.com/getting-started
http://benfrain.com/lightning-fast-sass-compiling-with-libsass-node-sass-and-grunt-sass/
http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/grunt-command-not-found/
I've:
Intsalled node.js
Installed the command-line version of grunt: sudo npm install -g grunt -cli
Added the path from the grunt installer to my bash profile: export PATH=/usr/local/lib/node_modules/grunt/bin:$PATH
Made the profile an executable: source ~/.bash_profile
Setup package.json and Gruntfile.js files in my project root
Installed grunt into the project: cd /path/to/project/root/ and sudo npm install
But when I try to run grunt I see: command not found
It's the same if I run: grunt --version
I wasn't sure if the bash path needs /bin on the end as per the blog posted above but have tried it both ways:
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/grunt/ and /usr/local/lib/node_modules/grunt/bin/
I've also run the grunt installer several times but didn't see any errors so am positive it's installed - can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? I'm running OSX mavericks incase this is the issue.
Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Cheers
You have a typo in your command. The package is named grunt-cli without the space.
Update the command to:
sudo npm install -g grunt-cli
And all should work as expected.
Hope this solution also might be helpful to someone. In my case it was a bit trickier.
In command line type the following command
npm install grunt-cli -g
This will show you the location where the grun client is installed:
Copy this location and paste it into a file browser. Was this in my case.
C:\Users\zkhaymed\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\grunt-cli\bin
This will open you the location of a grunt file.
Click on the address line of the location and copy it as a text clicking on the right mouse button.
Now go to the Advanced properties of the system at control panel, and paste this address into a System variables and user variables without deleting the other variables.
I was having a very similar issue, hopefully this helps.
1) You want to check where node and npm are actually installed. If you used a package manager, such as Homebrew or MacPorts, there may be an issue with the location. Just use the downloadable installer from node.js website. Make sure to use the current version, not the long term support (LTS). The installer will install node and npm in /usr/local/bin, which should already be in your PATH. If you already have node/npm installed you can use which node and which npm to see where they are currently located. You should see /usr/local/bin/node and /usr/local/bin/npm, respectively. You will need to update npm after installing with npm update -g npm. This may require sudo.
2) Once node and npm are correctly installed/updated go to the project's root directory (where you have the Gruntfile.js and package.json) and install Grunt using npm install grunt --save-dev. Remember that Grunt After doing so you should see a new folder called node_modules.
3) Make sure to do the previous step before installing the CLI. You can use Grunt's getting started documentation to help guide you the rest of the way. Just be aware that the instructions for installing Grunt are further down the page than installing the CLI, which makes it somewhat confusing. When Grunt and Grunt-CLI are installed run npm install and run grunt in the command line to execute your Gruntfile.js.
You should now be able to see the versions installed. Note that if you are outside of a project's root directory you will not see a version of Grunt but you will see the Grunt-CLI version. This is because the CLI was installed globally (used from any directory/subdirectory) but Grunt is installed on a per-project basis.
Hopefully this helps!
I just ran into this scenario as well. The following worked for me:
Try deleting C:/Users/{username}/AppData/Roaming/npm and C:/Users/{username}/AppData/Roaming/npm-cache (if it exists) and reinstalling global npm modules.
Source: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/29287
I had to add this to the PATH (on a Mac after brew install node ):
export NPM_HOME=/usr/local/Cellar/node/6.3.1/libexec/npm
The npm install was not effective, no matter what args I passed to it.
