Font-Awesome 5 Bower/Npm Install

[wautersj]

Is there a way to use Font-Awesome 5 with bower or npm?

I didn't find an answer to that in the docs, maybe I missed it?

Nevermind, I think I was too quick to log an issue, found it!

I think it's not clear enough if I'm used to v4, how do I use v5 in the same way?

I use it sass like this:

npm i -S font-awesome

$fa-font-path: '../assets/fonts';
@import '../../node_modules/font-awesome/scss/font-awesome';

and then

<i class="fa fa-youtube"></i>

What's the equivalent with v5?

@brunolm please try with https://www.npmjs.com/package/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free-webfonts

Sorry. Font Awesome 5 will not support bower. Please consider an alternative.
