How to uninstall a globally installed package with Yarn?

Question

I installed Quasar framework using Yarn:

yarn global add @quasar/cli

However there seems to be an issue with the installation and I now need to remove the global package. I checked the Yarn docs and they have a remove command but it does not seem to be global. I know NPM allow for global remove with:

npm uninstall -g @quasar/cli

How can I do the same with Yarn?

If you installed a global package with sudo, it might have been installed to /usr/local/bin instead. (You can check with which <command>.) In that case, you will have to use sudo to uninstall it as well. – Richart

Answer 2

In Linux:

which <the package name: packageXYZ>

output: /home/user1234/.nvm/versions/node/v16.13.0/bin/packageXYZ

go there and delete it!

Answer 3

I tried to delete with yarn global remove <package_name> but in my MacOS, sudo yarn global remove <package_name> works and I tried to remove expo-cli. Replace <package_name> with package you want to remove.
