Yarn: What is the recommended way to keep yarn updated?
Which operating system are you using:
Windows 10 Pro x64
Please describe the steps you took when trying to install Yarn and what went wrong:
Installed yarn from the MSI package from the website
How do I update yarn? Following are non-working solutions:
yarn self-updateit's been deprecatedyarn global upgradeornpm install -g yarn: Didn't install yarn from npm , installed it from MSI installer, please suggest if npm install and MSI will work inter-operably or one is preferred over the other
Background
I did google and even search the opened and closed issues, but a lot of the issues were closed without solutions. I did see a PR which was merged for one of the issues to give a nag message but I never see it, what must I do to see it?

self-update will eventually be fixed: #1139
On Windows, you can install Yarn via Chocolatey, and then do choco upgrade yarn to upgrade whenever a new version is available. Chocolatey essentially just downloads and runs the MSI behind the scenes.

Yarn should check for upgrades once per day, and let you know if a new version is available.

Installing Yarn via npm will cause weird issues, please avoid it and just use the MSI 👍
