Starter templates that rely on fontawesome produce errors so they can't be tried out...

Unable to try out this corporate template and the blog template because of an error installing the fortawesome dependency.

  npx create-strapi-starter my-project next-blog
  npx create-strapi-starter my-project next-corporate

Gives:

The error seems to be because those packages were deprecated:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free-brands

https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/blob/master/UPGRADING.md#50x-to-510

My bad. Apparently if you already used the pro license on your system you will get this error. Solution is to:
npm config delete @fortawesome:registry
