Node Package Managers

We currently use yarn and pnpm as package managers in our projects. Please refer to the following sections to install these tools.

Installing pnpm with volta

Volta allows you to install global packages:

volta install node
volta install pnpm

Installing Yarn with volta

Volta allows you to use global packages as if you were using local ones.

volta install node
volta install yarn

Enabling Yarn with nvm

Only if you are not using volta

Skip this section if you are using volta as your package manager.

Yarn is a package manager for node and javascript projects. It is faster than npm. The recommended way of enabling yarn is using corepack.

Start by running corepack enable Then corepack prepare yarn@stable --activate

You should now have yarn enabled with your version of node defined by nvm. To check run yarn --version or which yarn

Note

This operation should be repeated every time you update the version of node you use.
