contacts plugin not installing

[TechDhanhind]

When i try to install "npm install @awesome-cordova-plugins/contacts" in ionic 6, am getting error as follows

npm ERR! 404 Not Found - GET https://registry.npmjs.org/@awesome-cordova-plugins%2fcontacts - Not found
npm ERR! 404

Contacts plugin was marked as deprecated back in 2018
danielsogl/awesome-cordova-plugins@c2fe5f8

And removed back in September when the project was still called ionic-native, so there is no contacts plugin in awesome-cordova-plugins
danielsogl/awesome-cordova-plugins@5f891f6

If you really need it, you'll have to use latest version of @ionic-native/contacts, but not sure if you can have both ionic-native and awesome-cordova-plugins installed or if that would cause issues.

You can also try @capacitor-community/contacts plugin instead of the cordova one.
