npm publish needs a paid account

Hi
I want to verify whether
a paid account is compulsory for publishing my package.I am attaching a log here.

Or if there an option to locally publish a package.

hi! if you want to publish a scoped package and not pay you can use the --access public flag on the npm publish command to publish it as a public scoped package!

e.g. npm publish --access public

(you are getting this error because scoped packages have a default --access restricted which publishes the package as a private package which is a paid feature of npm)
