Which operating system are you using:
On Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Please describe the steps you took when trying to install Yarn and what went wrong:
After removing cmdtest and installing node I've followed steps described here https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/#debian-stable

But when I run
yarn --version

I get
/usr/share/yarn/lib/cli.js:45726
let {
^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token {

Updating nodejs resolved this for me:
IE:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -

apt-get install -y nodejs

Here's a Dockerfile you can use to duplicate the issue. Includes fix from @jeffpaulKinsta

FROM debian:stretch-slim

# Setup the base OS
RUN apt-get update -qq \
 && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends build-essential  \
    apt-transport-https curl ca-certificates gnupg2 apt-utils nodejs

# Install node from nodesource
# uncomment the next 2 lines for fix
# RUN curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | bash - \
#  && apt-get install -y nodejs

# Install yarn
RUN curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | apt-key add - \
 && echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list \
 && apt-get update -qq \
 && apt-get install -y yarn

# Test
RUN yarn --version

Save the above to Dockerfile and run: docker build .

...
# Setup the base OS
RUN apt-get update -qq \
 && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends build-essential  \
    apt-transport-https curl ca-certificates gnupg2 apt-utils **nodejs**

# Install node from nodesource
# uncomment the next 2 lines for fix
# RUN curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | bash - \

With this solution, you're installing nodejs twice. I think there is no need to do that 😃 .
