Yarn global command not working

javascript, npm, yarnpkg

Solution

You should add `export PATH="$PATH:$(yarn global bin)"` to your `~/.bash_profile` or whatever you use. It would solve the issue.

Depending on how you installed it, Yarn's global folder varies for some reason. You can follow this issue here.

Problem

I'm working with Yarn v0.16.1. If I understand correctly (according to the documentation), `yarn global add <package>` should be the equivalent of `npm install -g <package>`. However, when I run the example in the docs (with `create-react-app`), the command runs successfully but `create-react-app` is then not available from the command line. Here's the output: ``` $ yarn global add create-react-app $ yarn global v0.16.1 [1/4] Resolving packages... [2/4] Fetching packages... [3/4] Linking dependencies... [4/4] Building fresh packages... success Installed create-react-app@0.6.0 with binaries: - create-react-app ✨ Done in 3.22s. $ create-react-app --help -bash: create-react-app: command not found ``` Doing a global install with npm has the expected result, and everything works. What am I missing with yarn?
