I followed the GitHub Packages documentation here: https://docs.github.com/en/packages/using-github-packages-with-your-projects-ecosystem/configuring-npm-for-use-with-github-packages

I have the key in my ~/.npmrc per the instructions above (direct link removed because of link limits)

I logged in to npm because the ~/.npmrc config did not seem to work, even though I’ve checked the format of the contents multiple times

I published my package to my org’s repo, and can see it on the repo landing page under packages

I then go to install the same package in another repo, also under the same organization, on the same computer, in a different folder location, after configuring the files according to the instructions here: https://docs.github.com/en/packages/using-github-packages-with-your-projects-ecosystem/configuring-npm-for-use-with-github-packages#installing-a-package

Here is the output, modified for security:

If I’m unable to install on the same machine with a valid token that published (and has read access to) the org’s package repo, I’m not sure how I can expect other developers in my org to be able to use this.

I need guidance on how to properly install a package from a private repo as the documented instructions do not seem to work.

So, after diving into Stack Overflow for far too long, I found this:

Yarn can't find private Github npm registry

github, npm, yarnpkg

asked by Matthew Mitchener on 05:41AM - 10 Oct 19 UTC

The summary from the accepted answer there:

.yarnrc

"@myorg:registry" "https://npm.pkg.github.com"

After updating the .yarnrc per above, I was able to yarn add @org/packagename and it installed as expected.
