In reactJs after running

npm start

it yields the following error:

./src/index.js Module not found: Can't resolve 'firebaseui' in 'C:\Users...\src'

(using visual studio code)

this is my package.json

firebase.initializeApp(firebaseConfig);

export const auth = firebase.auth();
export const authUI = new firebaseui.auth.AuthUI(auth);
