I am receiving an error when to installing npm install react-bootstrap-table-next --save.

I do not not understand what it is telling me nor how to resolve, any guidance appreciated:

the error:

$ npm install react-bootstrap-table-next --save

after some further digging the issue appears to be related to NPM v7, running the following resolved the issue:

npm install react-bootstrap-table-next --save --legacy-peer-deps

Key info is shown below and taken from the following posts:

unable-to-resolve-dependency-tree-reactjs

NPM v7

NPM v7 was recently released and this is the version that current (as of November 2020) node:current images use.

Probably the biggest changes brought about by NPM7 relate to peer dependencies - NPM should now be able to install them automatically, if possible. Read more here.

As described in the document, in cases where it's not possible to solve the conflicts, NPM should now throw errors rather than warnings, which is what you are seeing.

I, on the other hand, only managed to get warnings and no errors using your setup and NPM v7.0.8, and I don't know why. The problems reported were essentially the same, however, so the resolution ought to be very similar.

I experienced the same error today on Mac. I solved it just by installing the latest version of NodeJs. I would recommend you try updating your "nodeJs" installation.
