Getting 404 when attempting to publish new package to NPM

Question

I just created a new package.

I'm now trying to publish it to NPM for the first time like this:

    ole@MKI:~/Sandbox/pli$ npm publish  --access public     npm ERR! publish Failed PUT 404     npm ERR! Linux 3.13.0-93-generic     npm ERR! argv "/home/ole/.nvm/versions/v6.4.0/bin/node" "/home/ole/.nvm/versions/v6.4.0/bin/npm" "publish" "--access" "public"     npm ERR! node v6.4.0     npm ERR! npm  v3.10.3     npm ERR! code E404      npm ERR! 404 Not found : @supericium/pli     npm ERR! 404      npm ERR! 404  '@supericium/pli' 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      npm ERR! 404 Note that you can also install from a     npm ERR! 404 tarball, folder, http url, or git url.      npm ERR! Please include the following file with any support request:     npm ERR!     /home/ole/Sandbox/pli/npm-debug.log 

I tried updating both NodeJS and NPM to make sure that I have the latest version, which are:

ole@MKI:~/Sandbox/pli$ node --version v6.4.0 ole@MKI:~/Sandbox/pli$ npm --version 3.10.3 

Thoughts?

You need to have registered "supericium" (npm adduser) as a username at the registry and be logged in (npm login) to publish under that scope.
