Description

Currently the system will install the base component system plus hotloader then try installing webpacker. At this point it checks for yarn, and if yarn is not there bombs out.

It would be better to check at the beginning. And if yarn is not available suggest installing without webpacker.

Research direction
Look for the installation script in the repository, likely a shell script or Makefile. Locate where yarn is currently checked (after installing base components) and move that check to the beginning. Update the error message to indicate that if yarn is missing, the user can install without webpacker. Ensure to test the change locally.
