Step 4: Verify the installed Node.js version by using the below command

[root@Linuxhelp ~]# node -v
v16.20.2

Step 5: To verify the NPM version, by using the below command

[root@Linuxhelp ~]# npm -v
8.19.4

Step 6: By default, Yarn is not available on Rocky Linux 9 base repository. Now run the below command to add the Yarn repository to your system.

[root@Linuxhelp ~]# curl --silent --location https://dl.yarnpkg.com/rpm/yarn.repo | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/yarn.repo
[yarn]
name=Yarn Repository
baseurl=https://dl.yarnpkg.com/rpm/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://dl.yarnpkg.com/rpm/pubkey.gpg
[root@Linuxhelp ~]# rpm --import https://dl.yarnpkg.com/rpm/pubkey.gpg

Step 7: After the repository has been successfully added, we can install Yarn by using the below command

[root@Linuxhelp ~]# dnf install yarn
