I cloned a fullstack MERN (Typescript) project from github and when i was checking out the code on VS code i noticed there were errors everywhere for packeges as of they weren't installed and when i want to install them I just cant and would get the following error for instance installing express with (npm install express) or any other package:
npm WARN idealTree Removing dependencies.@types/node in favor of devDependencies.@types/node

When i searched it up i found out that it has somthing to do with having an npm account and signing in to it, but i dont want any of that, I just want to be able to run the website locally while avoiding the errors that i have been getting regarding the uninstalled packages. How can i do that? .
Here is my package.json:
{
"name": "lofi-env",
"version": "1.0.0",
"main": "index.js",
"repository": "https://github.com/ni-xon/lofi-env.git",
"author": "ni-xon <[email protected]>",
"license": "MIT",
"scripts": {
"server": "nodemon --config nodemon.json backend/server.ts",
"client": "yarn --cwd frontend start",
"start": "yarn server",
"dev": "concurrently \"yarn server\" \"yarn client\"",
"heroku-postbuild": "cd frontend && npm install && npm run build"
},
"devDependencies": {
"@designed-and-developed/eslint-config-prettier-typescript-react": "^1.0.9",
"eslint": "^8.10.0",
"prettier": "^2.5.1"
},
"dependencies": {
"@types/bcrypt": "^5.0.0",
"@types/express": "^4.17.13",
"@types/jsonwebtoken": "^8.5.8",
"@types/mongoose": "^5.11.97",
"@types/node": "^17.0.21",
"bcrypt": "^5.0.1",
"concurrently": "^7.0.0",
"dotenv": "^16.0.0",
"express": "^4.17.3",
"express-async-handler": "^1.2.0",
"jsonwebtoken": "^8.5.1",
"mongoose": "^6.2.4",
"nodemon": "^2.0.15",
"ts-node": "^10.7.0",
"typescript": "^4.6.2"
}
}
In fact, I would get this error whenever i call npm ( even when i do npm install!)
Thank you.

Look at your .npmrc :
registry=https://registry.yarnpkg.com/
@designed-and-developed:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com
//npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=${NPM_TOKEN}
always-auth=true
There's no NPM Token, so you can't authenticate to Github Packages in order to fetch your package. Obtain one, put it inside the braces and try again :)
Cheers
