Error publishing a new version of a package in npm

Question

I'm trying to republish a package using npm. I did update the package version in package.json, yet I get the following error:

npm ERR! publish Failed PUT 404

I've tried several similar answers here, but none of this is helping. Any ideas?

Answer 1

#To publish on npm registry

You need to create npm user. You can follow here. In short

npm adduser
npm login

Do npm config ls to ensure that credentials are stored on your client. Then try

npm publish.

To install it locally OR test packaging your module

You can try

tar -tf $(npm pack)
npm install <path/to/your/package.tgz>

I checked here and here for references.

Answer 2

I also had the same problem. for me the email was not verified. You can login on npmjs.org and verify the email.
