How To Uninstall Yarn?

1.9K Asked by Amitraj in SQL Server , Asked on Nov 17, 2022

I had installed Yarn for some demo. Now I am trying to run a react project using npm but by default, it always changes to Yarn. I don't need Yarn now, so I want to uninstall it. I tried the following command but it did not work: sudo apt-get remove yarn && sudo apt-get purge yarn

How can I uninstall Yarn?

$ brew install yarn 

$ brew link yarn
