How do I resolve peer dependency error: The package react@15.3.2 does not satisfy its siblings' peerDependencies requirements

Question

I am getting this error when I run npm install. This seems because I am unable to satisfy some peer dependency but I am unsure which peer dependency I need to fix.

λ npm install

I am having this same problem. In a more condensed form: I'm being told v15.3.2 does not satisfy peer dependency ^0.14.8 || ^15.0.1 —— which is just wrong, it does satisfy that semver range. — davidtheclark, Oct 01 '16 at 13:59
Could you cut all the npm warnings from your first code block? Those are kind of irrelevant: the errors are the issue. — davidtheclark, Oct 01 '16 at 14:02
i thought the warnings may provide insight into dealing with the errors. — Daljeet Virdi, Oct 01 '16 at 17:06
it worked when i updated npm `"npm install npm -g"` and then downgraded react to; `"react": "15.3.0"`, cleared cache: `npm cache clear`, removed node_modules, `rm -rf node_modules`, and reinstalled, `npm install`. — Daljeet Virdi, Oct 01 '16 at 17:42
just by updating npm `npm install npm -g` can solve the problem. — Santosh Dangare, Dec 15 '20 at 15:28

For me npm install --legacy-peer-deps worked. Please read about this flag before using it.

--legacy-peer-deps: ignore all peerDependencies when installing (in the style of npm version 4 through version 6).

it worked when I:

updated npm "npm install npm -g"
downgraded react to; "react": "15.3.0"
cleared cache: npm cache clear
removed node_modules, rm -rf node_modules,
reinstalled node_modules, npm install.

What does `npm install npm -g` actually do? Installs npm package from npm? – Łukasz Jagodziński Dec 12 '16 at 14:18

@ŁukaszJagodziński it is to upgrade npm to latest version. This is npm magic, manage it by itself. – tim Apr 28 '22 at 08:13

Just update node package manager (npm) to the latest version.

npm install npm -g

This worked for by peer dependencies warnings but any explanation on why it worked? – Ryan Jun 30 '22 at 07:54
Probably because in the earlier version of npm, they did not resolve peer dependencies. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36781031/webpack-error-in-cannot-find-module-less – Achintha Isuru Oct 19 '22 at 07:05

I was facing the same issue and I used following things:

Update the react version: "react": ^16.2.0" in package.json file
Delete the node modules by rm -rf node_modules
Run npm install
npm update

This worked for me.

Use the following command to resolve this when installing the node module

npm install --legacy-peer-deps

if above doesn't work for you then you can tey npm install --force

--legacy-peer-deps: ignore all peerDependencies when installing, in the style of npm version 4 through version 6.

I had similar issues until I

removed node_modules, rm -rf node_modules,
Made changes to package.json,
cleared cache: npm cache clear --force,
reinstalled node_modules, npm install.
