npm install fails due to unable to resolve dependency tree

Posted by

Error:-

Solution

The error you’re seeing is due to a conflict in dependencies between react-native-screens and react-navigation-drawer. Specifically, react-navigation-drawer requires an older version of react-native-screens (^1.0.0), but your project has react-native-screens@2.15.2.

Here are some potential solutions:

Solution 1: Use --legacy-peer-deps

If you want to ignore the conflict and let npm install the dependencies, you can run the following command:

npm install --legacy-peer-deps

This command allows npm to resolve dependency conflicts more leniently.

Solution 2: Use --force

If the above method doesn’t work, you can force npm to install the dependencies with:

npm install --force

However, be aware that this can lead to potential issues since it might install incompatible versions.

Solution 3: Update Dependencies

Check if newer versions of react-navigation-drawer are available that support react-native-screens@2.x. You can do this by running:

npm show react-navigation-drawer versions

If there is an updated version, you can try updating it with:

npm install react-navigation-drawer@latest

Solution 4: Downgrade react-native-screens

If updating react-navigation-drawer isn’t an option, you might want to install a compatible version of react-native-screens:

npm install react-native-screens@^1.0.0

This will resolve the dependency conflict but may downgrade some functionality provided by newer versions of react-native-screens.

Summary

  • The quickest solution is to use npm install --legacy-peer-deps.
  • The more stable solution involves finding compatible versions of your dependencies.
