I think the write-up should specify `npm install -g yarnpkg` not `npm install -g yarn`.

Could be worth finding the author of 'yarn' on npm and asking them for the name - it's been unmaintained for 4 years:

The recommended installation method is actually to use the package/installer for your environment. Currently there's a Windows installer, Debian package, and RPM package, with Homebrew coming soon. See https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install

Lots of ways you can install Yarn over here: https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install

Just a heads up: someone tried to comment out the Windows choco instructions with HTML comments but the angle brackets were escaped so the instructions are still there (with the escaped brackets).

Oops, that's my fault. It looked fine in the Github editor's preview when I commented it out, so I assumed it'd actually work properly.

Chocolatey is coming soon, once they approve the package.
