Troubleshooting

Windows Permission Errors with Yarn

If you encounter EPERM: operation not permitted errors when using Yarn on Windows, try one of these solutions:

  1. Run as Administrator: Right-click PowerShell and select "Run as Administrator"

  2. Use npm instead:

    npm create thulite@latest my-project -- --template doks

  3. Fix .yarnrc permissions:

    $yarnrcPath = "$env:USERPROFILE\.yarnrc"
if (Test-Path $yarnrcPath) {
    icacls $yarnrcPath /grant "$env:USERNAME:(F)"
}

  4. Delete problematic .yarnrc (if safe to do so):

    Remove-Item "$env:USERPROFILE\.yarnrc" -Force
