Not Found - PUT https://npm.pkg.github.com/package-name

Question

I'm trying to upload a package on GPR (Github Package registry). I log in successfully:

npm login --registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com

and then run these command:

npm set registry https://npm.pkg.github.com/

npm publish

which returns this error:

npm ERR! 404 Not Found - PUT https://npm.pkg.github.com/package-name
npm ERR! 404 
npm ERR! 404  'package-name@version' is not in the npm registry.

Seems it tries to upload a package on npm registry instead of github package registry. How should I fix this problem?

Answer 1

There are two ways to solve this problem:

1. Specify publishConfig option in package.json:

"publishConfig": {
    "registry":"https://npm.pkg.github.com/@OWNER"
},

2. Add .npmrc file to your project with this content:

registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com/@OWNER

replacing OWNER with the name of the user or organization account on GitHub that owns the repository where you will publish the package.
