 ### Running the Yarn frontend build
 
 > [!TIP]
-> If you already have Node.js installed, you do not need to change your path. Start using `yarn` by enabling [Corepack](https://yarnpkg.com/corepack) with `corepack enable`, if it isn't already; this will add the `yarn` binary to your PATH.

 To run the Yarn frontend build, after [building the WAR file](#building-the-war-file), add the downloaded versions of Node and Yarn to your path:
 
 ```sh
-export PATH=$PWD/node:$PWD/node/yarn/dist/bin:$PATH
+export PATH=$PWD/node:$PWD/node/node_modules/corepack/shims:$PATH
 ```
 
 Then you can run Yarn with e.g.
