Polymer setup Errors: npm vs nvm node setup, Bower errors, browser errors, polymer doesn't start errors. Polymer team, would you please publish a complete setup guide that works?

The Polymer 2 guide is pretty rock solid... have you tried reading the actual documentation on the Polymer website?

That is where I got the steps from, plus Polymer Stack Overflow, Google Developers Youtube, Google IO 2015/2016 & 2017 and Github Wiki.
- The polymer-project lists npm, did not work on fresh VM install - stuck at polymer init
- Polymer Stack overflow recommends a mix npm, nvm, did not work - Stuck at polymer serve, conflict with bower
- Now Github Wiki recommends setup with yarn, did not try

I would like nothing more than finish the setup and move on to the discovery.

Thanks

"stuck" isn't a very descriptive term, it's impossible to help without details.

You clearly need to understand terminal / command line better, none of these are indications of failing or broken.
Details in line.

It's not "frozen", its a running application. Polymer serve creates a server at the URLs listed above... if you open your browser to one of those you'll see your project... 
ctrl+c will kill it.

 
Under admin - Polymer command not found
@vm45 my-app]$ polymer serve
-bash: polymer: command not found


NPM doesn't install commands for all users unless you configure your paths to do so...
