Getting a 404 on a private repo after adding a personal access token to .npmrc

Question

Not sure why this would be happening. Getting a

Request failed \"404 Not Found\""

I've created the token in my github settings, set the correct repository rights on the token, and then added it to my.npmrc file. In place of $TOKEN I've copied in the token itself. Am I missing something?

//npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=$TOKEN

Answer 1

The issue was that package permissions weren't set up properly, not a problem on my end.
