Yarn add --dev returning --> yarn: error: no such option: --dev

I have looked at this post: Yarn error "no such option" with --dev flag but it did not work for me. I did the npm install --global yarn and it did not work.

yarn version: 0.27
node version: 9.6.1
npm version: 5.6.0
linux-ubuntu: 17.10

commad being run:

yarn add --dev nodemon babel-cli babel-preset-env babel-preset-stage-3

So I solved by uninstalling it:

sudo apt remove yarn

curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list

sudo apt update && sudo apt install yarn

yarn

I had a similar problem while running the command:

yarn add --dev eslint prettier eslint-config-airbnb@^15.0.1 eslint-config-prettier eslint-plugin-prettier eslint-plugin-react eslint-plugin-import eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y@^5.1.1

yarn: error: no such option: --dev

adding sudo to the command helped me!

sudo npm install --global yarn

from @Wangai you probably installed $ apt install yarn Instead use $ sudo npm install --global yarn, then run your command.

Reference: Yarn error "no such option" with --dev flag
