61# YarNPM
YarNPM is a [YARN](https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn) wrapper which transforms `npm` commands to `yarn`, use `npm` as `yarn`!
**WARNING: PLEASE DON'T USE THIS PACKAGE FOR NOW, IT MAY BREAK YOUR NPM, A BETTER INSTALLER APPROACH IS COMMING SOON :)**
[](https://npmjs.com/yarnpm/)
## What is Yarn ?
Yarn is a Fast, reliable, and secure dependency management that can be used as a replacement of NPM and other tools.
## So Why do i need this?
Yarn is great, but many tools still (and maybe for months) are depending on `npm` command, this tool adds a global `npm`
wrapper binary which:
+ Automatically converts args from `npm` to `yarn` (for example `npm install`=>`yarn add`)
+ Detects currently unsupported features of yarn and fall backs to `npm`
- Scoped packages
+ Allows you to to specify which tool to use, still using `npm` command
