yarn: Install a module globally.
$ yarn global add ${module_name}
try on your machine

This command is used with the package manager Yarn to add a module globally. Here's a breakdown of each component:

  • yarn: This is the command to invoke the Yarn package manager.

  • global: By using the global flag, the module will be installed globally on your system rather than being tied to a specific project. This means you can use the module in any project without the need to install it again.

  • add: This command is used to add a package or module to your project. In this case, it will add the specified module to your global environment.

  • ${module_name}: This is a placeholder for the name of the module you want to install. Replace ${module_name} with the actual name of the module you want to add. For example, if you want to install the Babel module globally, you would use yarn global add @babel/cli.

Overall, the command yarn global add ${module_name} is used to install a module globally using Yarn.
