@aoberoi thoughts? FWIW, I updated my npm and reinstalled as well.

[aoberoi]

@gunjpan, i can't reproduce this problem. can you try running the following command to see if its still a 404: curl https://registry.npmjs.org/@slack%2fclient? if it outputs a big JSON blob, you should be good. if not, this might be an issue on your system (firewalls?). to further investigate could you try installing some other package (e.g. npm i express)?

[gunjpan]

Yup.. that curl gives me a blob.

to further investigate could you try installing some other package (e.g. npm i express)?

I did install rimraf as a test.

[aoberoi]

stupid question: did you try npm i @slack/client again after the rimraf success?

[gunjpan]

It's working now, I had my enterprise creds in global .npmrc file. 🙈
