React: Getting error EUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL

[ossdev07]

While trying to install using npm install, i was getting below error:
**npm ERR! code EUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL
npm ERR! Unsupported URL Type "link:": link:./scripts/eslint-rules/

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR! /root/.npm/_logs/2018-10-11T06_52_49_537Z-debug.log**

On debugging understood that dependency "eslint-plugin-react-internal": "link:./scripts/eslint-rules/" in package.json is giving error. Currently there is no version of eslint-plugin-react-internal package.

Can we run all cases even after removing this dependency from package.json.

Thanks in advance.

I suggest you to use node 8.9.4 recommended version and install your package with sudo permission.

`sudo npm install'

change 'link' to 'file' can solve this problem for me ( in mac Hige Sierra)
"eslint-plugin-react-internal": "file:./scripts/eslint-rules/"

You can also choose to use yarn install the packages, it supports this.
