First, utilize the advised command npm install --save --legacy-peer-deps react-share

then, in your app root directory create a .npmrc file

lastly add to the file legacy-peer-deps=true

and you're ready to deploy.

The --legacy-peer-deps flag was introduced with v7 as a way to bypass peerDependency auto-installation; it tells NPM to ignore peer deps and proceed with the installation anyway.

npmrc is the configuration file that npm allows to be used globally or user level or project level to optimize your npm environment. npmrc can be configured in four different locations. Globally. Per user. Per project.
