Installing Yarn

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install the Yarn package manager on your account using the WebApps platform.

If you do not see a WebApps section in the Control Panel of your hosting account, this tutorial may not be suitable for your particular hosting environment. Please contact our support team for more information.

1. You need to connect to your account via SSH.
   
   
2. Create the directory where you wish to install Yarn (e.g. "~/private/yarn"), and enter that directory. You can use the following SSH command to achieve this:
   
   mkdir /home/$USER/private/yarn && cd /home/$USER/private/yarn
   
   
3. Create a web application for Yarn using the sureapp CLI tool:
   
   sureapp project create \
   --engine node \
   --engine-version lts \
   --release-dir "/home/$USER/private/yarn" \
   yarn
   This will create a new web application named "yarn", whose files will be stored in the "/home/$USER/private/yarn" directory.
   
   
4. Access the "yarn" web application:
   
   
   sureapp project shell yarn
   
   
5. Install Yarn globally for the web application:
   
   npm install -g yarn
   
   

Congratulations! You can now use "yarn" within your project's shell. You could navigate to a directory and run a command to start a new project:

yarn init

You can also add a dependency to your project. To add the a package (e.g. "lodash"), you can use this command:

yarn add lodash
