NPM

Add the following to your manifest.json:

{
    "scopedRegistries": [
        {
            "name": "NPM Registry",
            "url": "https://registry.npmjs.org",
            "scopes": [
                "com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-core",
                "com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-base-atoms",
                "com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-fsm",
                "com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-mobile",
                "com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-mono-hooks",
                "com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-tags",
                "com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-scene-mgmt",
                "com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-ui",
                "com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-input-system"
            ]
        }
    ],
    "dependencies": {
        ...
        "com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-core": "4.5.0",
        "com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-base-atoms": "4.5.0",
        "com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-fsm": "4.5.0",
        "com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-mobile": "4.5.0",
        "com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-mono-hooks": "4.5.0",
        "com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-tags": "4.5.0",
        "com.unity-atoms.unity-atoms-scene-mgmt": "4.5.0",
