npm install --global yarn
npm upgrade --global yarn 

This should work.

Not remembering how i've installed yarn the command that worked for me was:

yarn policies set-version

This command updates the current yarn version to the latest stable.

From the documentation:

Note that this command also is the preferred way to upgrade Yarn - it will work no matter how you originally installed it, which might sometimes prove difficult to figure out otherwise.

Reference

On Linux, just run below command at terminal:

$ curl --compressed -o- -L https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh | bash

After do this, close the current terminal and open it again. And then, run below command to check yarn current version:

$ yarn --version
