node: 4.2.6
os: darwin x64

```

did you install via npm install yarn -g? also, maybe you are inside an ember project :x

I’m having the same issue, also with yarn. 100% sure I’m not in another ember project.

ember-cli: 2.11.0 node: 7.4.0 os: linux x64

node version v7.4.0

Any ideas what could be causing the issue?
