yarn is having troubles with the network connection

Question

I tried to install a package with yarn earlier today and I got this

yarn install
yarn install v1.9.4
[1/4]          


        

Answer 1

In my case, there was a hidden file .npmrc that had the registry pointed to a location in another private network, which my network did not have access to. Once, I commented out the private network related entries in this file, yarn install started working. Also, yarn-error.log was generated, that had this information.
