Package Manager Notes

This project can be used with either Yarn or npm. While both package managers will work, we recommend using Yarn for the following reasons:

• Faster installation times
• More reliable dependency resolution
• Better caching mechanism
• Parallel package downloads
• Consistent installations across different machines

If switching between package managers, make sure to:

1. Delete the existing node_modules directory
2. Delete the package manager lock file (yarn.lock or package-lock.json)
3. Run a fresh install with your preferred package manager
