npm install -g vsts-npm-auth --registry https://registry.npmjs.com--always-auth false
vsts-npm-auth -config .npmrc

error in here

I have an format error on the second command

vsts-npm-auth -config .npmrc zsh: exec format error: vsts-npm-auth

As you can see, I can not even past the first command.

I had try clear the proxy assign a proxy And my network is completely fine, I ping https://registry.npmjs.com and it works ok I also did

vsts-npm-auth is not supported for Linux/Mac.

from Azure DevOps Documentation / Set up your client's npmrc

First option is generating a token

Set up authentication on your dev box / Linux or Mac

In the Project setup section, select Other

Second option is platform agnostic library

better-vsts-npm-auth works perfectly on macOS - also supports yarn if you use .yarnrc.yml - update the npmAuthToken attribute with the refresh token generated from ~/.npmrc

better-vsts-npm-auth is for sure the best way to setup on the Mac IMO.

You are missing a space before the --always-auth:

npm install -g vsts-npm-auth --registry https://registry.npmjs.com --always-auth false
# Space was missing here -----------------------------------------^

Thank you , Iam missing something on the second command as well vsts-npm-auth -config .npmrc zsh: exec format error: vsts-npm-auth

It didn't work on mac. It looks that on mac vsts-npm-auth is installed in the npm as a windows executable.
