[email protected] requires a peer of react@^15 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself

Question

I have installed all required libraries using npm install and I also done npm install --save [email protected] but I am still getting this error.

My Package.json

  "devDependencies": {
    "babel-core": "^6.2.1",
    "babel-loader": "^6.2.0",

  }

After updating react, redux, react-redux,and all I got no warnings but got following error after I ran npm start

events.js:160
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event

Answer 1

You need React in your package.json

Try the following in the folder where your package.json is placed:

npm install react --save

If react is already present in your package.json verify that the version is higher then 15.0.

If that's not fixing your error, please provide us your package.json

Answer 2

With the help of @rieckpil, I have followed following steps and it fixed my problem.

1: On this page I collected latest version for all following libraries react, react-dom, react-redux, react-router, react-router-dom, redux and replaced it in my package.json file.

2: Run npm install

3: Run npm start. If getting errors like above, simply restart you computer and run npm start again.
