reactjs - npm add react-icons installation does not work

Question

I am new to React and I try to download react-icons, but there is an error, which is different from those I had found here. Can you help, please?

(base) Jana-MacBook-Air:react_project jb$ npm install react-icons --save

Answer 1

Well, do you have a package.json file in your root path of the project? The error is because that package have a peer dependency with react and because it's not finding the package.json file, then for the npm installation process, react it's not installed.
