[Bug?]: Installing private npm packages in Ubuntu

Describe the bug

I'm trying to install the private repo files from GreenSock according to their instructions:
https://greensock.com/docs/v3/Installation#private

While this works fine in Windows 10, I'm having issues in Ubuntu 20.04.

If I run the command yarn add gsap@npm:@gsap/<package> I get this response:

➤ YN0000: ┌ Resolution step
➤ YN0001: │ Error: gsap@npm:@gsap/business isn't supported by any available resolver

Also has been suggested in the forums to try this approach as well:

$ npm config set registry https://npm.greensock.com
$ npm config set @gsap:registry https://npm.greensock.com
$ npm config set //npm.greensock.com/:_authToken <your-token-here>
$ yarn add @gsap/shockingly

I have done that and when running yarn add @gsap/shockingly I get this error:

➤ YN0027: @gsap/shockingly@unknown can't be resolved to a satisfying range
➤ YN0035: The remote server failed to provide the requested resource
➤ YN0035:   Response Code: 404 (Not Found)
➤ YN0035:   Request Method: GET
➤ YN0035:   Request URL: https://registry.yarnpkg.com/@gsap%2fshockingly

➤ Errors happened when preparing the environment required to run this command.

To reproduce

  // No dependencies

Environment

System:
    OS: Linux 5.13 Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS (Focal Fossa)
    CPU: (16) x64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700F CPU @ 2.90GHz
Binaries:
    Node: 16.13.2 - /tmp/xfs-f7697878/node
    Yarn: 3.1.1 - /tmp/xfs-f7697878/yarn

Additional context

Is worth noticing that since this happened first in an ongoing project, I created a new project without any dependencies (hence the no dependencies in the section To Reproduce using yarn init resulting in this package.json file:

{
  "name": "yarn-bonus",
  "packageManager": "yarn@3.1.1"
}

This command yarn dlx -q envinfo --preset jest didn't return the npm info, so here it is:
npm: 8.1.2

We couldn't reproduce your issue (all the assertions passed on master).

Hi! 👋

This issue looks stale, and doesn't feature the reproducible label - which implies that you didn't provide a working reproduction using Sherlock. As a result, it'll be closed in a few days unless a maintainer explicitly vouches for it or you edit your first post to include a formal reproduction (you can use the playground for that).

Note that we require Sherlock reproductions for long-lived issues (rather than standalone git repositories or similar) because we're a small team. Sherlock gives us the ability to check which bugs are still affecting the master branch at any given point, and decreases the amount of code we need to run on our own machines (thus leading to faster bug resolutions). It helps us help you! 😃

If you absolutely cannot reproduce a bug on Sherlock (for example because it's a Windows-only issue), a maintainer will have to manually add the upholded label. Thanks for helping us triaging our repository! 🌟

I had the same problem and manage to fix it based on this issue #1816

all you need to do is to add the version range

yarn add -D gsap@npm:@gsap/business@^3.10.2 or you can use @latest
