Answer 1

You need Authorize your GitHub personal access token and ensure it has the repo and read:packages scopes enabled.

echo "export GITHUB_TOKEN=your_github_token" >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

npm config set '//npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken' "${GITHUB_TOKEN}"

then npm i should pass

Answer 2

As mentioned in previous answers you need to set a personal token within your profile so that when npm runs it will use your token.

Another option is, you can ignore the file .npmrc where you'll add your token.

registry = https://npm.pkg.github.com/company_package
//npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=my_token_here
