Question

Trying to install version 5

Accoring to https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/use-wi

Answer 1

npm install --save-dev @fortawesome/fontawesome
npm install --save-dev @fortawesome/free-regular-svg-icons
npm install --save-dev @fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons
npm install --save-dev @fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons

In your app.js or equivalent Javascript file,

import fontawesome from '@fortawesome/fontawesome'
import regular from '@fortawesome/free-regular-svg-icons'
import solid from '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons'
import brands from '@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons'

fontawesome.library.add(regular)
fontawesome.library.add(solid)
fontawesome.library.add(brands)

For usage, there are slight changes to the way the class names are being used. Please refer to the icons on Fontawesome site for the "full" class names.

Although the idea of adding all the 3 variants of fonts into the project seems to be a convenient thing, do beware that this will slow performance when building/compiling your project. Thus, it is highly recommended that you add the fonts you need instead of everything.
