'Craco - Could not resolve dependency error

I am trying to setup TailwindCSS in my Create-React-App project and I am trying to install craco so that I need not eject my CRA

When I run the following command npm install @craco/craco, I get unable to resolve dependency tree error. Below is the detail of the error. What should I do? Thanks

npm install @craco/craco

create-react-app craco

Solution 1:^[1]

I've updated my package react-scripts to the latest version 4.x. by running this command :

npm i react-scripts@latest

then lo and behold, I was able to install craco successfully.

Solution 2:^[2]

This works for me

npm install @craco/craco --save --legacy-peer-deps

With the below line you can also set --legacy-peer-deps permanently as a config option. Try to avoid this as you need to see which npm library/libraries in your project is/are having dependency issues.

npm config set legacy-peer-deps true

Solution 3:^[3]

Use yarn add, it would solve this for you, you don't need to do anything for the react-scripts version.

Solution 4:^[4]

I think the error has to do with the dependency tree.

You have [email protected] but @craco/craco requires [email protected].

Simply run npm i [email protected] and create craco.config.js file

Solution 5:^[5]

Run this; it worked for me:

npm config set legacy-peer-deps true

Solution 6:^[6]

i update my react app and then installed craco 5.05v

Solution 7:^[7]

npm install -f

Could help here.
