zsh: command not found -- no longer have access to basic utilities and all installed softwares or packages from the terminal

Looks like I have managed to scramble my path variable when installing flutter, and now running yarn, shows zsh: command not found: yarn

This was the command I ran that I started experiencing the zsh command not found: echo 'export PATH="$PATH:[PATH_TO_FLUTTER_GIT_DIRECTORY]/flutter/bin >> ~/.zshrc"

I ran the code solution suggested by @devnull https://stackoverflow.com/a/18428774/1766068

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:${PATH} export PATH it would work when I open a new tab, but if I should restart the terminal it no longer works.

In Terminal, enter corepack enable

I use corepack enable to install yarn, following the official yarn installation instructions.

Official yarn docs say "enabling Corepack [...] will add the yarn binary to your PATH." When I update my Node or npm version, I have occasionally had the error message reappear.

Official Corepack docs explain its sole purpose is "to help with managing versions of your package managers. It [...] will identify whatever package manager is configured for the current project, download it if needed, and finally run it." Pretty handy.

This fix addresses this error each time with no drama.

Open your ~/.zshrc file in a text editor and remove the last line. Then logout and login again.
