Asdf yarn install global package fix

Hi everyone,

Today I want to write about how to fix yarn global install of a package.

What is that Wolfiton?

If you remember from my previous articles that yarn and npm can install a package globally so that you can use it from anywhere in the system or locally you will have to specify where you have it installed.

So for our example let's use yarn global add serve in an asdf yarn configuration.

The package will get installed but when we go and run serve nothing happens or we get the unrecognized command.

To fix that we need to run asdf reshim nodejs.

Now if we try to use serve we will get the following output:

 serve                                                                                     ✔  at 20:44:45
