Protobuf.js: error 404, unable to install protobufjs

Created on 30 May 2018 · 11Comments · Source: protobufjs/protobuf.js

Looks like I'm not the only one getting this error with prototbufjs over time:

Seems like a problem with npmjs.com.

Example:

❯ npm i protobufjs@5
npm ERR! code E404
npm ERR! 404 Not Found: protobufjs@5

After updating NPM to 6.x.x protobuf was found and installed, but now I have other errors. Surprisingly YARN can install my dependencies without issues...

This is an npm issue, not a protobufjs issue.
