A little help, please.
The original problem was that "yarn install --immutable" failed because --immutable was no longer recognized as an option. Then I mis-installed yarn under root.
I've tried
sudo apt install cmdtest
npm install -g yarn
npm install -g npm@latest
npm install -g yarn@latest
Because /usr/bin/yarn pointed to a root directory, and was not world executable, that was unusable for the mastodon user.
I deleted /usr/bin/yarn.
Then after npm install -g yarn, there is no yarn for mastodon. When I attempt to install it as the mastodon user, I get
Command npm not found
It then directs one to install npm, which is installed an available everywhere except as the mastodon user.
How do we install it? If I can't get it installed, I'm going to stop running a mastodon instance.

@steter@mastodon.stevesworld.co what version were you on before the upgrade attempt?
