Hey there! I’m a supplier of Yarn, and I know how important it is to keep your globally installed packages up – to – date. In this blog, I’ll share with you how to upgrade all those globally installed packages to the latest version using Yarn. Yarn
First off, let’s talk a bit about why we should upgrade these packages. New versions of packages often come with bug fixes, performance improvements, and new features. By keeping your packages up – to – date, you ensure that your projects run smoothly and are more secure.
So, how do we go about upgrading all globally installed packages with Yarn?
Step 1: Check the currently installed global packages
Before we start upgrading, it’s a good idea to know what packages we have installed globally. You can use the following command in your terminal:
yarn global list
This command will show you a list of all the packages you’ve installed globally with Yarn. It’s a handy way to get an overview of what’s there. You’ll see the names of the packages along with their current versions.
Step 2: Find out which packages have updates available
Once you know what packages you have, the next step is to figure out which ones have newer versions. Yarn makes this easy. You can use the yarn global outdated command.

When you run this command, Yarn will check the registry to see if there are any newer versions of your globally installed packages. It will then display a table showing the current version, the wanted version, and the latest version of each package. The "wanted" version is the one that matches the semver range specified in your package.json (if applicable), and the "latest" is the newest version available on the registry.
Step 3: Upgrade the packages
Now that you know which packages need an upgrade, it’s time to do it. There are a couple of ways to upgrade the packages.
Option 1: Upgrade all packages at once
If you want to upgrade all the globally installed packages that have updates available, you can use the following command:
yarn global upgrade --latest
The --latest flag tells Yarn to upgrade each package to the latest version available on the registry. This is a quick and easy way to get all your packages up – to – date. However, be aware that upgrading to the latest version might introduce breaking changes, especially if the package has had a major version bump.
Option 2: Upgrade specific packages
If you don’t want to upgrade all the packages at once, you can choose to upgrade specific ones. For example, if you want to upgrade the lodash package, you can use the following command:
yarn global upgrade lodash --latest
Just replace lodash with the name of the package you want to upgrade. This gives you more control over which packages get updated.
Step 4: Verify the upgrades
After you’ve run the upgrade command, it’s a good idea to double – check that the packages have been upgraded successfully. You can use the yarn global list command again to see the new versions of the packages.
yarn global list
Compare the versions you see now with the ones you saw before the upgrade. If everything went well, you should see the latest versions of the packages you upgraded.
Some tips and considerations
- Breaking changes: As I mentioned earlier, upgrading to the latest version of a package might introduce breaking changes. Before you upgrade, it’s a good idea to check the release notes of the package to see what has changed. You might also want to test your project thoroughly after the upgrade to make sure everything still works as expected.
- Dependencies: Sometimes, upgrading one package can affect its dependencies. Make sure to check if any other packages in your project rely on the package you’re upgrading. You might need to update those dependencies as well.
- Network issues: If you’re having trouble upgrading the packages, it could be due to network issues. Make sure you have a stable internet connection and that your firewall isn’t blocking the connection to the Yarn registry.
