I came here from a Google search, when I wanted to make sure no extra commands were needed when adding Cypress via Yarn. I agree it would be nice to have it in the official documentation.

Per my comments on the other issue I’m not really sure we want to add this to the Installing Cypress docs.

There is already a boat load of content, and adding more text which is arguably unnecessary is not a good idea. It’s not like we have to do anything special for yarn. It’s just an alternative npm install.

Everyone who is already using yarn knows that and doesn’t need it pointed out. For users not familiar with yarn it could end up being confusing. We have a lot of new developers / QA people that use Cypress and I’m concerned we’ll misdirect or overwhelm them.
