		Corepack is a zero-runtime-dependency Node script that acts as a bridge between Node projects and the package managers they are intended to be used with during development. In practical terms, Corepack will let you use Yarn and pnpm without having to install them - just like what currently happens with npm, which is shipped by Node by default.

		Corepack isn't intended to be installed manually. While it's certainly possible, we're working with the Node TSC to provide Corepack by default starting from Node 15, thus ensuring that all package managers can be used with little to no friction.

		We do acknowledge the irony and overhead of using npm to install Corepack, which is at least part of why the preferred option is to use the Corepack version that will be distributed along with Node itself.

		When running Yarn or pnpm within projects that don't list a supported package manager, Corepack will default to a set of Known Good Releases. In a way, you can compare this to Node, where each version ships with a specific version of npm.
