How do I kill the process using port 8088?

On macOS & Linux, run: "stop-yarn.sh || kill -9 $(lsof -t -i:8088)". On Windows PowerShell (as Admin), run: "Stop-Process -Id (Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 8088).OwningProcess -Force".

Why am I getting "port 8088 already in use" (EADDRINUSE)?

This occurs when another background instance of java (yarn) or a zombie process is already bound to port 8088. Use the kill commands above to free the port immediately.
