My inlined solution

I have the same problem

[fsyntax]

Same here, its very annoying I can't properly yarn install ..

[ZehuaZhang]

So I fixed yesterday with the following, FYI, my existing project is running on intel mac, am migrating from yarn 1 to yarn 3

1. remove brew installed node
2. remove brew installed corepack
3. remove yarn
4. clean node cache npm cache clean
5. download and install node from the mac installer in the official website
6. npm i -g yarn
7. go to your existing project, remove any yarn related files and folders, e.g. .yarn/, yarn.lock, .yarnrc.yml, and pnp files, which are plug and plays for yarn if any.
8. add a new file in root, called .yarnrc.yml and add nodeLinker: node-modules, this is to tell yarn to install with traditional node_modules, the new recommended zero install, pnp, plug n play is buggy, some packages, like eslint, nextjs, are not installable and will occur the timeout error in current issue.
9. in your project root, open a terminal, type yarn -v, it should show something like mine 3.5.1, which is beyond version 1, you don't need to set berry as mentioned in the original yarn doc
10. run yarn install or yarn, it should install everything

So that is my fix, not sure what cause the error previously, hope it could be fixed. Don't get me wrong, yarn is still the best imo in terms of package install speed and resolving dependencies, pnpm is fast, but it has issues with nested dependencies, npm is just very slow and sluggish with nested / peer dependencies

@ZehuaZhang how did you remove yarn, i cant seem to find that in the documentation

Just reverse the order of how you installed yarn,

First thing, you should check your network.

same issue here with yarn 3.5.1 and also the latest 3.6.1

[IgnisDa]

Don't know why but rm -rf ~/.yarn/berry/cache/ and npm clean --force normally fixes it for me.

Only had this problem on node 20 (v20.2.0). Switching to 18 resolved it.

[amartincolby]

This error is frustratingly intermittent. It is hard to know if a change fixed it or not or if things are randomly working for awhile. I have switched to Node 18 @mattkindy. So here's hoping.

[marcelo2605]

It's working with node 20.12.1 and yarn 3.5.1
