  • NPM Publish Error 402 Payment Required – You must sign up for private packages

    When publishing public scoped packages you might get the following errors:

    npm ERR! code E402
npm ERR! 402 Payment Required - PUT https://registry.npmjs.org/.... - You must sign up for private packages

    This happens when trying to publish public scoped packages. The default access level is private. To resolve this you can either set npm config set access public or add the following to your package.json:

    "publishConfig": {
  "access": "public",
  "registry": "https://registry.npmjs.org/"
},

  • Fix Invalid Package Name “.DS_Store” for Node.js NPM Global Update on macOS

    If you got the following error message when run npm update -g:

    $ npm update -g
npm ERR! code EINVALIDPACKAGENAME
npm ERR! Invalid package name ".DS_Store": name cannot start with a period

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /Users/sparanoid/.npm/_logs/2021-04-28T13_59_32_013Z-debug.log

    Simply run if you installed your Node.js via Homebrew:

    find /usr/local -name '.DS_Store' -type f -print -delete

    Or the following for M1:

    find /opt/homebrew/lib -name '.DS_Store' -type f -print -delete

  • Use nvm for all users

    From Digital Ocean

    This is very tricky and you should rerun this command every time you upgrade your node version:

    n=$(which node);n=${n%/bin/node}; chmod -R 755 $n/bin/*; sudo cp -r $n/{bin,lib,share} /usr/local

    Better solutions are welcome.
