by using yarn it is installed but with this warning
warning " > [email protected]" has incorrect peer dependency "react-native@^0.59.5".

[mapsi-fixi]

Same problem :/ any idea?

[AliRehman7141]

@mapsi-fixi You can use yarn instead of npm

I have resolved it for npm by following these steps.

1. Delete package-lock.json file
2. Delete yarn.lock file
3. Delete node_module folder
4. Close all your terminals/cmds
5. Close IDEs (Android Studio or Xcode)
6. Then try to run npm install

add --legacy-peer-deps flag

npm install react-native-fs --save --legacy-peer-deps

I also upgraded to node15, and always need to attach this flag --legacy-peer-deps flag.
Just wondering if it's permanently needed.
Or should I just downgrade to node14, which the same problem is non-existent?

[AliRehman7141]

I'm using the LTS version of node 12.18.0, Now there is no need to use --legacy-peer-deps flag
