@dongyuwei this may be related to you installing yarn berry as a global. As you'll see from the installation instructions, the yarn you install globally is v1, while v2 is installed locally.

[ojkelly]

that's a good point @emilio-martinez with both yarn berry and yarn build they are intended to be bundled into your repository (in the .yarn folder).

Yarn build is not something you can install globally.

Can you try installing it again but without installing globally and see if it works?
