Npm registry error when installing msgpack-x

Question

When I execute npm install msgpack-x I get an error which says 'msgpack-x' is not in the npm registry.

I am very new to this, any idea what I might be missing?

Answer 1

Use the registry JSON dump to see if the file is there:

• Search for it in your search engine of choice, for example:
  • site:registry.npmjs.org msgpack-x
  • domain:registry.npmjs.org msgpack-x
• If it's there, find the name that comes after {"_id":

• Use that in your npm install, for example:

  npm install msgpack-js-browser
