In previous project I have mistakenly do the global configuration using below commands
npm config set "@fortawesome:registry" https://npm.fontawesome.com/
npm config set "//npm.fontawesome.com/:_authToken" TOKEN
@fortawesome:registry=https://npm.fontawesome.com/
//npm.fontawesome.com/:_authToken=TOKEN
I cannot install fontawesome to my new projects after do the global config bacause it gives same error. How I solve this problem?
First, run the following command to delete the old registry.
npm config delete "@fortawesome:registry" https://npm.fontawesome.com/
Then install the required package to your project
npm install / npm install "package name"
This should solve your problem
As an alternative, you can simply include Font Awsome CDN in the index.html file.
Go to https://fontawesome.com/start and enter your email in the given field. You will receive an email with the CDN URL and include that in the header part of the index.html.
