Note that you can use yarn global bin to output the path to that bin folder just in case you can't find it. :)

I think the path for Windows moved, it's %LOCALAPPDATA%\Yarn\bin now

And yarn global dir provides you with the directory, in which node packges reside.

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Yarn\bin is empty. Where can I find binaries to use it in WebStorm?
