I am trying to setup TailwindCSS in my Create-React-App project and I am trying to install craco so that I need not eject my CRA

When I run the following command npm install @craco/craco, I get unable to resolve dependency tree error. Below is the detail of the error. What should I do? Thanks

npm install @craco/craco

This works for me

npm install @craco/craco --save --legacy-peer-deps

With the below line you can also set --legacy-peer-deps permanently as a config option. Try to avoid this as you need to see which npm library/libraries in your project is/are having dependency issues.

npm config set legacy-peer-deps true

I've updated my package react-scripts to the latest version 4.x. by running this command :

npm i react-scripts@latest

then lo and behold, I was able to install craco successfully.

Run this; it worked for me:

npm config set legacy-peer-deps true

Use yarn add, it would solve this for you, you don't need to do anything for the react-scripts version.

I think the error has to do with the dependency tree.

You have react-scripts@3.4.3 but @craco/craco requires react-scripts@4.0.0.

Simply run npm i react-scripts@4.0.0 and create craco.config.js file

i update my react app and then installed craco 5.05v

In my case using node v16.15.1 raising this error.
I resolved it by using node v16.13.1 with fixing the version in package.json

  "engines": {
    "node": "16.13.1"
  },

You can also resolve by using yarn not npm.
