For me also the same thing occur, how to solve this ..? @KrisB1022

@balajibrk the free npm packages are hsoted on registry.yarnpkg.com, and we do not have control on that.

https://status.yarnpkg.com/ does not report issues, so it could also depend on your provider

I think it's a temporary network issue, please check your network connection and try again later

I cannot replicate this from Italy

I have searched for this solution for a long time. It makes me feel silly now that i know what it is. It took almost 3 minutes for yarn to install font-awesome.. no idea why as I am the only one in the office that has this issue.
