Issue

hyper i hyper-letters
Response code 401 (Unauthorized)
Plugin check failed. Check your internet connection or retry later.

I'm assuming this has to do with the fact that I have a private npm repo as my primary repo in my .npmrc file, but not sure how to fix it. I can't seem to find any other diagnostic logs. Running any npm install works just fine.
Node version v10.15.1
npm version 6.4.1

I did confirm that removing my private package and replacing it with the public one does allow the plugin to install

Happens to me as well (Debian 9, Hyper 2.1.2)

After clean install:
hyper i hyper-atom-dark-transparent or hyper i hypercwd

Getting the same error after clean install, is there a known fix for this?

Edit: the error was happening because i was still on a private registry, using the public registry solved this issue

Not sure what should I do to fix it.

edit: You probably have .npmrc in the root, just move it/delete it for a sec - execute the command and put it back. You should be good to go.
