npm install –save react-with-firebase-auth console ERROR

June 4, 2022

I am trying to install Firebase Authentification in my react project and i wrote in the command line of the VSCode :

npm install --save firebase react-with-firebase-auth

But it only shows this ERROR:

npm ERR! code ERESOLVE
npm ERR! ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree
npm ERR!
npm ERR! While resolving: proiect2-app@0.1.0
npm ERR! Found: firebase@9.8.2

Do you know what should I do in this case?

>Solution :

react-with-firebase-auth is depending on Firebase version 8.6.8. The current version you use is 9.8.2, so react-with-firebase-auth is not compatible. So either you have to change your Firebase version from 9.8.2 in your package.json, or you have to find a new library that is compatible with newer version of Firebase
