Upgrading to the Version 6 Package
Version 6 has different and separate packages!
We found an issue with the way we named our Version 5 python packages. This has been fixed in Version 6, but it meant creating new Free and Pro packages with a different name scheme - fontawesomefree and fontawesomepro.
To upgrade to Version 6, Start by adding the new Version 6 Font Awesome Free or Pro package to your project's requirements by placing this in your project's requirements.txt file(opens new window) and replace version_number with the version of Font Awesome you are using (e.g. 6.0.0).
fontawesomefree==version_number
You can then follow the rest of our set up instructions to use Font Awesome Free or Pro in your Python project.
