Installing Yarn!
/home/neeraj_iwari/.yarn/bin/yarn
Yarn requires Node.js 4.0 or higher to be installed.

It looks like your system doesn't have Node.js installed, or it's not available in your current environment. Since you're using Windows with WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux), follow these steps to fix the issue:

### 1. **Check if Node.js is Installed**
Run:

node -v

If it returns a version, then Node.js is installed. Otherwise, you need to install it.

### 2. **Install Node.js**
#### Using NodeSource:

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_18.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

(Replace `18.x` with the latest LTS version.)

#### Or Using nvm (Recommended):
If you prefer **nvm** (Node Version Manager), install it with:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.4/install.sh | bash
source ~/.bashrc

Then install Node.js:

nvm install --lts
nvm use --lts

### 3. **Verify Node.js and npm**
After installation, check:

node -v
npm -v

### 4. **Reinstall Yarn**
Once Node.js is installed, retry:

curl -o- -L https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh | bash

or install Yarn via npm:

npm install -g yarn

Let me know if you run into any issues! ๐Ÿš€

install latest node js
Assistant
To install the **latest Node.js** version on your **WSL (Ubuntu on Windows 11)**, follow these steps:

### **1. Remove Old Node.js (If Installed)**
Check if Node.js is installed:

node -v

If it's installed, remove it:

sudo apt remove nodejs -y
sudo apt autoremove -y

### **2. Install Node.js Using NodeSource (Latest Version)**
Run these commands:

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_current.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt install -y nodejs

After installation, verify:

node -v
npm -v

This will install the latest **Node.js** and **npm**.

### **3. (Optional) Install Node.js via NVM (Recommended for Version Management)**
If you want more control over Node.js versions, use **nvm (Node Version Manager)**:

#### **Install nvm:**

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.4/install.sh | bash
source ~/.bashrc  # or source ~/.zshrc if using Zsh

#### **Install the Latest Node.js:**

nvm install node
nvm use node

#### **Check Version:**

node -v
npm -v

This method allows switching between Node.js versions easily.
