Can't start application (yarn install throws errors) about thorium HOT 6 CLOSED

See if you can run it with Yarn 1 and Node 12, and let me know how it goes. On an M1, you'll have to run Node 12 in Rosetta, which should happen automatically if you've activated Rosetta already.

To be totally honest with you, I don't exactly know what that means. Is yarn 1 a version of yarn (same with node 12)? I'll look into backdating them.

from thorium.

Yep. Just older versions. Thorium Classic hasn't been updated to use newer versions.

Installation instructions for Yarn 1 here. https://classic.yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/#mac-stable

I like to use Volta, which lets me manage versions of multiple tools, including Node and Yarn. https://volta.sh

I installed volta (and n) and am having a lot of difficulty still. I think some of the issue is that node is also installed as a dependency of other brew packages (such as jupyter). I unlinked node from homebrew, which let me properly switch node's version away from 20.5.1 to 12.22.12 (according to node -v). (also yarn version 1.22). This threw a different error when running yarn install

Not sure what this means and if its better or worse than before haha

I also tried volta run yarn but this gives a new error:

[2/4] 🚚  Fetching packages...
error [email protected]: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version ">=18". Got "14.21.3"
error Found incompatible module.
info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/install for documentation about this command.

FWIW, volta list gives the following output:

⚡️ Currently active tools:

    Node: v14.21.3 (current @ ~/thorium/package.json)
    Yarn: v1.22.19 (default)
    Tool binaries available:

I ran volta install node@12, but this returns

success: installed and set [email protected] (with [email protected]) as default
   note: you are using [email protected] in the current project

I eventually got this working by using volta and doing some git resets. Not sure exactly what was wrong. Thanks for the help. I would add the need to use volta to the documentation if other people have this issue. Most likely it was a one off thing haha
