npm install failing with 404 error (/@fortawesome/pro-regular-svg-icons

After fixing the failure from the private package not found in this link.

I am stuck at the error ```font awesome`` library not found. Below is the error message details:

npm ERR! code E404
npm ERR! 404 Not Found - GET https://registry.npmjs.org/@fortawesome/pro-regular-svg-icons - Not found
npm ERR! 404 
npm ERR! 404  '@fortawesome/pro-regular-svg-icons@^5.15.2' is not in the npm registry.
npm ERR! 404 You should bug the author to publish it (or use the name yourself!)
npm ERR! 404 It was specified as a dependency of 'data-qa-frontend'
npm ERR! 404 
npm ERR! 404 Note that you can also install from a
npm ERR! 404 tarball, folder, http url, or git url.

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /home/rando/.npm/_logs/2021-09-23T12_59_34_988Z-debug.log

If I add the auth_token for font awesome registry like below:

//registry.npmjs.com/:_authToken={TOKEN}
@fortawesome:registry=https://npm.fontawesome.com/
//npm.fontawesome.com/:_authToken={TOKEN}

It fails due to a private package not being found. While removing the font-awesome registry it throws the error of font-awesome library not found.

Below is a part package.json file:

{
  "name": "project-name",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "@org/private-package": "^0.1.24",
    "@fortawesome/fontawesome-pro": "^5.15.3",
    "@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core": "^1.2.34",
    "@fortawesome/pro-duotone-svg-icons": "^5.15.2",
    "@fortawesome/pro-light-svg-icons": "^5.15.2",
    "@fortawesome/pro-regular-svg-icons": "^5.15.2",
    "@fortawesome/pro-solid-svg-icons": "^5.15.2",
    "@fortawesome/react-fontawesome": "^0.1.14",

Thank you in advance. I will appreciate any help in solving this issue.

After many trials,

I fixed this issue by following the step below:

Modify the .npmrc file to have the content below:

@fortawesome:registry=https://npm.fontawesome.com/
//npm.fontawesome.com/:_authToken={TOKEN}

Go to the terminal and login to npm like below:

npm login
Username:
Password:
Email: (this IS public) {may email}
Logged in as {my username} on https://registry.npmjs.com/.

After this check the .npmrc file, it should look like below:

@fortawesome:registry=https://npm.fontawesome.com/
//npm.fontawesome.com/:_authToken={TOKEN}
//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=npm_{TOKEN}

Finally run npm install at the root of your project and will complete it successfully.
