What is the current behavior?
Installing / updating yarn over `npm i -g yarn installs always 0.24.4

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

  • Tried to npm i -g yarn but this also installs only 0.24.4
  • Tried to uninstall and reinstall yarn, but same here

What is the expected behavior?
Install current 0.24.5 version

"latest" is still set to 0.24.4:

$ npm info yarn

{ name: 'yarn',
  description: '馃摝馃悎 Fast, reliable, and secure dependency management.',
  'dist-tags': { latest: '0.24.4', rc: '0.25.2' },

Not sure if this is intentional or just a release oversight...

Ok weird. I've got an info message, that my yarn is outdated and I should update. Seems that the npm package got the wrong dist-tag. However the homebrew version is at 0.25.5

Same here. Hope this isn't intentional? The (yarn installation page](https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install#alternatives-tab) does indicate npm installation isn't recommended, but in order for yarn to play with nvm it's by far the easiest (only?) solution....

0.24.5 marked as latest now, thanks

@erwinw yeah thats the reason why I installed it over npm. I am using n to manage my node versions. But if I install yarn over homebrew, the node dependency also get installed which pollutes the system and I don't need multiple duplicated node versions :D

@bestander thanks! it works now.
