I thought maybe I had space or something wrong somewhere, but i'm copy pasting from both the api docs, and from https://yarnpkg.com/en/package/@fortawesome/fontawesome.

[Gmunker]

Although i was able to install
"dependencies": { "@fortawesome/fontawesome-free-solid": "^5.0.6",

Hi!

Thanks for being part of the Font Awesome Community.

I cannot replicate at the moment but I'm leaving this open because I cannot help

[wgmv]

Getting the same error

yarn add v1.3.2 [1/4] Resolving packages... error Couldn't find package "@fortawesome/fontawesome" on the "npm" registry.

I have an .npmrc file in the same dir as package.json with
@fortawesome:registry=https://npm.fontawesome.com/XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

[wgmv]

Just found the solution rather by accident because I checked the docs while beeing logged in:

the token for npm is under Profile/Linked Accounts (for me this location is not obvious)
When not logged in the documentation under https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/use-with-node-js just states "The TOKEN can be found in your Font Awesome account settings" and just links to the account - it should link to https://fontawesome.com/account/linked-accounts

When logged in the token is directly shown in the docs which is good.

[wgmv]

@Gmunker maybe you also need to add the token as I see

warning ..\..\package.json: No license field

in your output

[tagliala]

@wgmv the warning should be relative to a missing license: property in package.json

[Gmunker]

hmm ok, well I thought i had an account apprently not, and no funds to buy a license. I thought I could use the free ones with no problem, guess i'm wrong. I'll look back into this when i'm able to afford it, so i cannot confirm it fixes on my end at this time. Thanks for the responses!

[tagliala]

@Gmunker you don't need a pro license to use FA5 free with yarn

[Gmunker]

Thats what I thought, so i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong then. :/

[Gmunker]

So I did a yarn cache clean and then was able to install. Something must have been conflicting. Thanks for all your responses and help!

[tagliala]

@Gmunker glad you've solved.

I'm also sorry, because I known about that options but I didn't advise you to do that because I thought you already tried that.

[belackriv]

Adding to mention that @wgmv had the correct solution for me. Make sure you are using the token from linked accounts.

[Hackbyrd]

It is confusing, you are using the wrong token. The token is under the "Services" tab and then under the "Tokens & Access Abroad" section. I ran into the same issue by using the token in the "Licenese" tab but that IS NOT THE CORRECT TOKEN!

[estrellajm]

Thanks, @Hackbyrd.... wrong TOKEN indeed. I was able to find it in the "Services" tab
