Yarn + NodeJS LTS with Homebrew

#tutorial #node #yarn #homebrew

The last Yarn version in Homebrew uses a non-LTS version (15) of NodeJS as its dependency. If this is an issue for you as it is for me, I just managed to accomplish use Yarn with the latest LTS version of NodeJS.

I created a gist for it and here are the following steps

  • Uninstall Yarn and Node 
$ brew uninstall yarn
$ brew uninstall node
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  • Install the latest LTS version of Node 
$ brew install node@12
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  • Create the Symlink for it 
$ ln -s /usr/local/opt/node@12 /usr/local/opt/node
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  • Install Yarn without its dependencies 
$ brew install yarn --ignore-dependencies
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And that's it!

If you want to check the versions of each package, just run

echo "Yarn Version: $(yarn --version)"
echo "Node Version: $(node --version)"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
