So I have been having problems with the fact that my yarn was out of date (1.5.1).
I desperately wanted to upgrade but no answer has helped me. So then I went and I thought I uninstalled yarn on both npm and apt. yarn -v was still 1.5.1.
I had before updated yarn using both npm and apt and they had said they had updated to the newest yarn. However the command clearly does not go to their versions.
I did which yarn The response was some file path. I decided I would nuke the whole folder it was sitting in.
That did work but now no matter how I reinstall yarn I can't get the command to work it points to the old path given by: which yarn Then continues to complain it can't find anything there.
Here is a little output of removing cmdtest / yarn / then reinstalling yarn:
doom@doom-MacBookPro ~ $ which yarn
/usr/local/bin/yarn
doom@doom-MacBookPro ~ $ yarn
-bash: /home/doom/.yarn/bin/yarn: No such file or directory
doom@doom-MacBookPro ~ $ sudo apt remove cmdtest && sudo apt remove yarn && sudo apt install yarn

Thank you very much for your time and I really hope someone has a better idea of what to do then I do.
I suspect somewhere the command part is setup so that it forces a point to a particular path...
Instead of doing that manually I would really prefer if the install setup the command, as that seems to be how everyone else acts like their yarn works.
EDIT
So right before I got it working I did enter this:
doom@doom-MacBookPro ~ $ yarn -v
-bash: /home/doom/.yarn/bin/yarn: No such file or directory
doom@doom-MacBookPro ~ $ man yarn
No manual entry for yarn
See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available.
doom@doom-MacBookPro ~ $ export PATH="$PATH:$(yarn global bin)"
-bash: /home/doom/.yarn/bin/yarn: No such file or directory
doom@doom-MacBookPro ~ $ yarn global
yarn global v1.10.1
error Invalid subcommand. Try "add, bin, dir, ls, list, remove, upgrade, upgrade-interactive"
info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/global for documentation about this command.
Then I literally did:
doom@doom-MacBookPro ~ $ yarn global -v
1.10.1
doom@doom-MacBookPro ~ $ cd Desktop/
doom@doom-MacBookPro ~/Desktop $ cd Rails
doom@doom-MacBookPro ~/Desktop/Rails $ yarn -v
1.10.1
So somehow it is working now. Not sure but happy.
