Yarn + NodeJS LTS with Homebrew

The last Yarn version in Homebrew uses a non-LTS version (15) of NodeJS as its dependency. If this is an issue for you as it is for me, I just managed to accomplish use Yarn with the latest LTS version of NodeJS.

I created a gist for it and here are the following steps

• Uninstall Yarn and Node

$ brew uninstall yarn
$ brew uninstall node

• Install the latest LTS version of Node

$ brew install node@12

• Create the Symlink for it

$ ln -s /usr/local/opt/node@12 /usr/local/opt/node

• Install Yarn without its dependencies

$ brew install yarn --ignore-dependencies

And that's it!

If you want to check the versions of each package, just run

echo "Yarn Version: $(yarn --version)"
echo "Node Version: $(node --version)"
