While building a base of the React Native app for iOS, using the yarn ios command, I got the following error that took me half an hour to figure out what was wrong:
nvm is not compatible with the "PREFIX" environment variable: currently set to "/usr/local"
Run `unset PREFIX` to unset it.
Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code
Reading some StackOverflow made me realize that I have node and yarn installed via HomeBrew on my macOS.
╰─❯ ls -la /usr/local/bin/node
lrwxr-xr-x 1 user admin 30 Jun 19 2020 /usr/local/bin/node -> ../Cellar/node/14.4.0/bin/node
But I also have nvm on my machine, and these two installations were clashing. So I have uninstalled the node and yarn
brew uninstall node yarn
installed the desired node version via nvm . See the article about installing nvm and ecosystem that helped me refresh all commands.
nvm install <node-version>
Verify that node and npm are now taken from nvm path:
╰─❯ which node
/Users/user/.nvm/versions/node/v14.16.0/bin/node
And install yarn
╰─❯ npm install -g yarn
...
╰─❯ which yarn
/Users/user/.nvm/versions/node/v14.16.0/bin/yarn
And that’s it. After this yarn ios passed without problems.
