Maybe it's possible the Arch Linux package doesn't come with a yarnpkg executable, just a yarn one? The Arch package is made by a third party rather than by the Yarn developers, and I'm not quite sure how it's packaged.

I want to chime in, installing using the recommended Windows Installer method on Windows 10 Pro x64 does not seem to add a yarnpkg alias to the PATH. I assume the reason for this is there is only a yarn.cmd file, but no yarnpkg.cmd file in the .bin folder. Would it be sensible to make a windows symlink named yarnpkg.cmd and point it to yarn.cmd?

@AaronHarris - Yeah, Windows only has a yarn.cmd file, not a yarnpkg.cmd file. I think it'd be easiest to add a yarnpkg.cmd file that simply calls yarn.cmd. Would you like to send a pull request?

Sure
