Yarn not installing fontawesome

[vijayst]

Describe the bug
Yarn is not able to install fontawesome because of 401 error. On navigating to the URL which has the tgz file, I get a basic auth dialog.

To Reproduce
My Yarn lock file has this entry:

"@fortawesome/fontawesome-free@^5.2.0":
  version "5.10.1"
  resolved "https://npm.fontawesome.com/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/-/fontawesome-free-5.10.1.tgz#dec28ee02c3fc51da46d53ce4da9d5787312fbd7"
  integrity sha512-PYncBhgN1l02mwHmczukexmu4yRTjRDAAdcK62jdWSAW8epcnZ9K2win/7rMrffiv/c7XLVDA8vD+yi6WyvbGQ==

Expected behavior
Yarn should install FontAwesome

Hi!

Thanks for being part of the Font Awesome Community.

Unfortunately at the moment the License Server is down, so if you need a pro package please refer to #16046

Anyway, given that this is a 401 error and not a 402 and you are requesting fontawesome-free, the issue you reported is different.

If you are a Pro costumer, we have recently changed our npm authentication, please refer to https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/on-the-web/setup/using-package-managers#installing-pro for the new instructions

If you are not a Pro customer or you were a Pro customer, you should switch from the private npm repo (npm.fontawesome.com) to the public pro repository (registry.yarnpkg.com or registry.npmjs.org according to your node package manager tool). In order to do that, please remove and reinstall font awesome packages

Hope it helps

Closing here but feel free to comment

Even when I do yarn add @fortawesome/fontawesome-free, I get a 401 error as it is pointing to https://npm.fontawesome.com/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/-/fontawesome-free-5.10.1.tgz.
