What version of Hydrogen are you using?

Steps to Reproduce

Using yarn 3.2.4 the steps to initialized a new project: yarn create @shopify/hydrogen@latest is invalid. I think its meant for that old outdated yarn v1.

Running this results in:

And yes my internet connection is just fine.

I am on MacOS ventura, NodeJS 18.

This works fine using npm.

Expected Behavior

I would expect the demo store to be installed.

Actual Behavior

Permission error as posted above.

Apparently, in Yarn 2+ the package is installed in a location where Node doesn't have rights to write to filedisk. This is a problem because we are downloading templates and storing them within the package.

Perhaps we could ask for an alternative path to store templates, or use some sort of cache in ~/....

In any case, you can probably create the project using NPM instead, and then install deps and run it with Yarn v2+?

Ya starting w npm works. Additionally one needs to ensure PmP is not used with a .yarnrc.yml with nodeLinker: node-modules.

I guess there is no solution moving forward except to not use yarn so I'll close this.
