Answer 1

Just download and install latest Yarn which is also a node package manager, developed by facebook, but has a much better dependency management. Also update your node cli (optional).

And then, install your dependencies using yarn:

yarn install

or

yarn // short version of yarn install

No errors!

You can continue to use npm after you have installed all dependencies with yarn or continue with yarn....it's your choice.
