path variable of yarn

Question

I have installed yarn in my 16.04 LTS version according to this tutorial tutorial

have added the environment path as well, but the termial does not take any yarn commands.

on typing yarn init, it gives ::-

ERROR: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'init'

same for when i type yarn global bin ::-

ERROR: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'global'

I think it is because of the PATH variable issue, can anyone tell me what else i need to add.

Thanks

So i found the resolution to this problem . their is a package called cmdtest which was installed in my system, which also contained a package called yarn. This yarn was conflicting with the yarnpkg, and when i was running yarn init or any other yarn commands it was probably running that yarn package with the argument, hance the error. the yarn --version and which yarn was running correctly which further convoluted the issue. i uninstalled cmdtest and installed yarn again which fixed the issue.
