yarn dlx

This command will install a package within a temporary environment, and run its binary script if it contains any. The binary will run within the current cwd.

By default Yarn will download the package named command, but this can be changed through the use of the -p,--package flag which will instruct Yarn to still run the same command but from a different package.

Using yarn dlx as a replacement of yarn add isn’t recommended as it makes your project non-deterministic. Yarn doesn’t keep track of the packages installed through dlx - neither their name, nor their version).

Options
