I got above error while running npm i react-bootstrap bootstrap. After the error occurred, I tried npm cache clean --force but it didn't resolve my problem. Then I reinstalled node and tried to install dependencies but I still get an error and installation is failed. Any one fixed this error. I tried all the things mentioned in the related question. But it didn't solve my problem. I use node v12.17.0 and npm 6.14.4.

I tried by executing command npm cache clean --force and then executed the command that caused this error and it worked fine.

After running the command npm cache clean --force . You need to remove the package-lock.json file. This worked for me.

Popper.js is required if you're using Bootstrap JS. Check the docs
