Try adding the following to your .bashrc file:

alias yarn='node "C:\Program Files (x86)\Yarn\bin\yarn.js"'

Running yarn init should work now for Windows 7. Can somebody please confirm that this works on Windows 10?

Hi, @ScottyFillups ! Thank you so much for your advice.
Your alias works fine on Windows 10.
