Got same issue. The problem was that my PC has crashed while yarn install. Resolved with:

yarn cache clean

The error is caused by the old version of nodejs (usually lower than v6).

  • First install the latest stable version of nodejs or more recent version than you are using now.
# Using Ubuntu
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_lts.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

# Using Debian, as root
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_lts.x | bash -
apt-get install -y nodejs

https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/blob/master/README.md

  • Then install yarn:
