error upath@1.0.4: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version ">=4 <=9". Got "16.3.0"
error Found incompatible module.

Seems like this was fixed in upath at some point: anodynos/upath@8c5f4e1#comments

Is this out of sync in the transitive dependency chain?

[Anders D. Johnson]

Workaround for now:

yarn global add yalc --ignore-engines

[James Knight]

Working ok for me without --ignore-engines

$ node --version
v16.18.0

But I came here because I couldn't install, but since found that I had to add sudo before commands

sudo yarn global add yalc

#from upstream project
sudo yalc publish

# from consuming project
sudo yalc add "@upstream/package"

seems a bit overkill and using sudo is a bit iffy 😢 but it appears to be working...

Interested to hear what I'm doing wrong

EDIT: sudo is a horrible idea. Package doesn't get updated properly.
EDIT2: This solved my issue with the install
