I’m using this to install yarn
cleaSo, first check to see what my version of npm is
It looks like my version is 25.8.2
Is there a fix?
Hi, this isn’t a Corepack issue, it’s a permissions problem.
You’ve installed Node system-wide (/usr/local/...), so corepack enable tries to write to /usr/local/bin, which your user doesn’t have permission to modify. That’s why you’re getting EACCES.
The easiest way to get around this is to use a version manager like nvm, which installs everything in your home directory and avoids these permission issues altogether. It’s also the recommended approach for managing Node versions as it will let you switch between them at will.
You can find the official install instructions here: https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm
Alternatively, here is a Homebrew-based guide: https://tecadmin.net/install-nvm-macos-with-homebrew/
Once you switch to nvm, commands like corepack enable should just work.
