title: How to install and run Yarn as local user (without admin rights)?
body: <p>I'm using Windows as a simple user (I don't have any admin rights) and want to install Yarn and use commands like Yarn Install, Yarn Add and Yarn Start. </p>
  
  <p>I found this on Stackoverflow about how to install Node.JS as a local user but I cannot make it work outside that folder:  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37029089/how-to-install-nodejs-lts-on-windows-as-a-local-user-without-admin-rights">install NodeJS LTS on Windows as a local user (without admin rights)</a></p>
  
  <p>I now have Node unpacked in the folder: <em>C:\Users\USERNAME\Applications\node</em> and I have added it my path to my variables using: <code>rundll32 sysdm.cpl,EditEnvironmentVariables</code>. I can run <code>node -v</code> and <code>npm -v</code> and it works. I have installed Yarn using <code>npm install --global yarn</code> but I cannot make it work outside of that folder. </p>
  
  <p>I want to go to <em>D:\projects\projectName\app-dev</em> and run Yarn Install to install dependencies from a project I cloned from GitHub. How do I make it work?</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE!
  For anyone out there the issue was not with Yarn. It was actually with Node.JS and the <code>PATH</code> in environment variable. For whatever reason until I restarted my computer the PATH did not update to include the new location of Node.JS. Make sure you read the answer from this question and you should not have any issues.
