Getting 404 when attempting to publish new package to NPM

Question

I just created a new package: https://github.com/supericium/pli

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

    ole@MKI:~/Sand         


        

Answer 1

If you publish from an ubuntu envinroment, first authenticate with npm login then after just do

sudo npm publish

Answer 2

It's solved by npm login in my case, the error message is misleading

Answer 3

in my case i noticed that my npm account username in npm website is different than my npm normal user name. When i try to publish in console by login with normal username gave me this error.

publish Failed PUT 404 npm ERR! code E404 npm ERR! 404 User not found

But after login to console with account name it has published successfully

Answer 4

I encountered the same problem but I successfully resolved it by uninstalling the LTS version, then installing Current version along with yarn.

Answer 5

In my case i accidentally typed https://registry.npmjs.org instead of https://registry.npmjs.com (.org vs .com)
