Solution1:

yarn global add serve

Based on NPM - Doc, you can install it globally yarn global add serve, then use it as you want like serve -s build

Solution2: npx:

npx serve -s build

As this article says, npx will check whether <command> or <package> exists in $PATH, or in the local project binaries(node_modules), and if so it will execute it, and if it's not there, it will download it. You can also run packages from github
