Yarn Berry (v2–v4) — Installation on Windows ARM64


First install Node.js.

Node.Js
-------

Install the Window ARM64 version of Node.js from below path

https://nodejs.org/en/download

After installation make sure it is installed for ARM64 with the following command.

>node -p process.arch
arm64

Now procced to Yarn berry installation as follows.

1.Enable Corepack with following command:
corepack enable

2.Install and activate the latest stable Yarn (Berry):
corepack prepare yarn@stable --activate

3.Check the installation:
yarn -v

You shall see version 4.

Notes:

Corepack comes bundled with modern Node.js releases, including the Windows ARM64 build.

When you run corepack prepare yarn@stable --activate, it downloads the official Yarn release tarball from npm and links it for immediate use.

Yarn is written in JavaScript and TypeScript — it runs inside Node.js.Therefore, no separate ARM64 binary build is required: it automatically runs natively under the Windows ARM64 version of Node.js.

This means you are effectively running a native Yarn Berry installation on Windows ARM64

 

Yarn Berry (v2–v4) — Building from Source for development Build on Windows ARM64


Cone the source as follows:

git clone https://github.com/yarnpkg/berry.git

Yarn needs a working yarn to build from source. So install the working Yarn.

1.Enable Corepack with following command:

corepack enable

2.Install and activate the latest stable Yarn (Berry):

corepack prepare yarn@stable --activate

3.Check the installation:
yarn -v

You shall see version 4.

4.Install dependencies:
yarn install

This will fetch all packages Yarn itself depends on.
On Windows ARM64, it runs natively inside Node.js — no special ARM build is needed.

5.Build the CLI:
yarn build:cli

This compiles TypeScript code and generates the executable scripts in packages\yarnpkg-cli\bin.
You only need this step if you modified Yarn’s source.

6.Test your build:
node packages\yarnpkg-cli\bin\yarn.js --version


Yarn (legacy) v1 installation on Windows ARM64:


Yarn v1 is almost obsolete with only legacy projects using it. There is no Windows ARM MSI available, but x86 will work with Windows emulation.

 
Node.Js
-------

Install the Window ARM64 version of Node.js from below path

https://nodejs.org/en/download

After installation make sure it is installed for ARM64 with the following command.

>node -p process.arch
arm64

Install Yarn v1 MSI:

Download the latest Yarn v1 MSI from the releases page
https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/releases/tag/v1.22.22

File: yarn-1.22.22.msi

Note: This MSI is x86/x64 but will run under Node.js ARM64 using the Node.js runtime.

Run the MSI installer

Verify Yarn:

yarn -v

You should see 1.22.22 (or whichever version you installed).
