How to Install Yarn on Linux Mint 20

To Install Yarn On Linux Mint 20

Introduction:

The yarn is an advanced package management software for Node.js applications that is a fast, secure, and reliable alternative to any other Node.js package manager’s. I have installed the latest Node.js on Ubuntu and Debian systems. In this tutorial, we will cover the installation of the Yarn on Linux Mint 20.

Installation Procedure:

First check the version of the OS

root@LinuxHelp:~# cat /etc/os-release 
NAME="Linux Mint"
VERSION="20 (Ulyana)"
ID=linuxmint
ID_LIKE=ubuntu
PRETTY_NAME="Linux Mint 20"
VERSION_ID="20"

Install the Yarn. Then enable the Yarn repository by using the following command

root@LinuxHelp:~# curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
OK

Once the repository is enabled. Add the yarn repository to the system repository by using the following command

root@LinuxHelp:~# echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main

The repository is added now update and install the yarn by using the following command

root@LinuxHelp:~# sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install yarn
