Get an error: "FetchError: request to tar.gz" when using yarn, can I manually download the tar and resolve this issue?

Yes, you can manually download the tar archive and try to resolve the issue. Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Go to the URL mentioned in the error message and download the tar archive.
2. Save the tar archive to a temporary location on your computer.
3. Extract the contents of the tar archive to the appropriate directory where yarn is trying to fetch it.
4. Run the yarn command again and see if the issue is resolved.

If the issue still persists, you may need to check your network connection or contact the package maintainers for further assistance.

The location where you should put the extracted content depends on the package that you are trying to install using Yarn. Typically, Yarn installs packages in the node_modules directory in your project's root folder. So, you should extract the contents of the tar archive into the appropriate folder within the node_modules directory.

For example, if you are trying to install a package named example-package, you would first navigate to the node_modules directory, and then create a folder with the same name as the package. Finally, you would extract the contents of the tar archive into this folder.

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Navigate to the node_modules directory in your project's root folder.
2. Create a folder with the same name as the package you are trying to install (e.g., example-package).
3. Extract the contents of the tar archive into this folder.
4. Run the Yarn command again and see if the issue is resolved.

If you are unsure where Yarn is trying to fetch the tar archive from, you can check the yarn.lock file in your project's root folder. This file contains a list of all the packages that Yarn is managing for your project, along with their versions and URLs.

Great! I'm glad that your issue is resolved. If you have any more questions or face any more issues, feel free to ask.
