Failed to instantiate component or class "rmrevin\yii\fontawesome\NpmFreeAssetBundle".

[shivendrahandysolver]

I was installing yii-starter-kit/yii2-file-kit and this package was installed as a dependency.
It is giving me this error

Failed to instantiate component or class "rmrevin\yii\fontawesome\NpmFreeAssetBundle".
↵
Caused by: ReflectionException
Class rmrevin\yii\fontawesome\NpmFreeAssetBundle does not exist

If manually download the missing file then I get a different error.

Invalid Argument – yii\base\InvalidArgumentException
The file or directory to be published does not exist: /var/www/site/vendor/fortawesome/font-awesome

Hello @shivendrahandysolver
you can downgrade yii file kit to the old version and the problem will be solved
composer require "require yii2-starter-kit/yii2-file-kit:2.0.1"
it worked for me.

@shivendrahandysolver Unfortunately, I can’t control the package version in third-party projects. Try manually fixing the version of the yii2-fontawesome package.

Try it

1. \rmrevin\yii\fontawesome\AssetBundle::register($this);

2.  public $depends = [
    ...,
    'rmrevin\yii\fontawesome\AssetBundle',
   

   ];
