This example installs the latest stable version of the TailwindCSS package. The easiest way to install a package with Yarn is the add command followed by the name of the package. For more on the package.json, take a look our How to Install and Use Node Package Manager (NPM) on Linux guide. The result is an initial package.json file representing the project. You can use the defaults for this example. Yarn prompts you for information about the project.
You can use the commands below to create a project directory and initialize a Yarn project as an example to follow along within this guide.Ĭreate a new project directory and move into it. Most of the time, Yarn is used to work with packages for a specific project. This section shows you how to work with packages using Yarn. Install, Remove, and Modify Packages with Yarn The -g flag has NPM install Yarn as a global package, rather than a project package. How to Install Yarnįollow the steps for installing NPM in our How to Install and Use Node Package Manager (NPM) on Linux guide.
It works similarly to Yarn’s and brings the two package managers essentially to an even playing field when it comes to lock files. NPM, however, has recently added its own lock file, package-lock.json. This ensures consistent versioning and file structure when installing project dependencies.
The file tracks exact package versions installed and their installation order. Yarn creates this file by default when packages are added to a project. Yarn previously had an advantage with its yarn.lock file. Its output tends to be clear and straightforward, in contrast to the often verbose and difficult-to-decipher output from NPM. Yarn has also prioritized user-friendliness. Projects that require automated installation can make good use of Yarn’s performance. Large projects can be more quickly set up on new machines, with dependencies installing in a fraction of the time needed by NPM. Yarn’s performance advantage makes it especially useful for projects where installation speed is a factor. Since then, NPM has made significant changes to address security concerns and even improved its performance. Originally, Yarn was created to address performance and security concerns in NPM. Yarn’s chief advantage over NPM is its speed. Yarn’s commands are also generally similar to NPM’s. The Yarn package manager uses the NPM registry, so it has access to all of the packages available through NPM. This guide discusses the differences between Yarn and NPM and shows you how to get started using it. It was originally developed to be a more performant alternative to the Node Package Manager (NPM). Yarn is a Node.js package manager used to handle JavaScript project dependencies.
