I don't know if this can help someone, but i install via npm the free fontawesome 5 package on my project and when a build the vendors, the compilation give me some errors related with the webfont files path. I do some change to the regex in the build/vendors.j to work:

Original line 91:
const path = assetPath.replace(/?.*/, '').replace(/'|"/, '')

Modified line 91:
const path = assetPath.replace(/?.|#./, '').replace(/['"]/g, '')

I hope i help someone.

This is how I successfully installed Font Awesome 5:

1. Remove v4 and install v5

npm remove font-awesome
npm install @fortawesome/fontawesome-free

2. Edit vendor.js:92
   

   coreui-free-bootstrap-admin-template/build/vendors.js

   Line 92 in c31b402

   const path = assetPath.replace(/\?.*/, '').replace(/\'|\"/, '')

replace with

const path = assetPath.replace(/\?.*|#.*/, '').replace(/\'|\"/, '')

3. Update all html files in /src
   

   coreui-free-bootstrap-admin-template/src/404.html

   Line 23 in c31b402

   <link href="node_modules/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

replace with:

<link href="node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/css/all.min.css"> 

then

npm run build
