Not remembering how i ve installed yarn the command that worked for me was    yarn policies set-version  This command updates the current yarn version to the latest stable   From the documentation       Note that this command also is the preferred way to upgrade Yarn - it will work no matter how you originally installed it  which might sometimes prove difficult to figure out otherwise    Reference

I had an outdated symlink that was preventing me from accessing the proper bin  I had also recently gone through a node upgrade which means a lot of my newer bins were available in a different folder with what i think was a lower priority  Here is what worked for me   yarn -v   gt  1 15 2  which yarn  gt   Users lfender  yarn bin yarn   rm -rf  Users lfender  yarn bin yarn npm uninstall --global yarn  npm install --global yarn   gt    yarn 1 16 0  gt  added 1 package in 0 179s  which yarn  gt   Users lfender  nvm versions node v12 2 0 bin yarn  yarn -v  gt  1 16 0   If you are not using NVM  the location of your bin installs are likely to be unique to your system   From there  I ve switched to doing yarn policies set-version as outlined here https   stackoverflow com a 55278430 1426788 to define my yarn version at the repo level
