React router not showing browser history

I'm learning from this tutorial but I keep getting this error:

'react-router' does not contain an export named 'browserHistory'.

The file that has react-router is this:

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { Router, browserHistory } from 'react-router';
import routes from './routes';

ReactDOM.render(
  <Router history={browserHistory} routes={routes} />, 
  document.getElementById('root')
);

In react-router-dom version 6 useHistory() is replaced by useNavigate() ;

import {useNavigate} from 'react-router-dom';
const navigate = useNavigate();
navigate('/home')

If react-router-dom version less than 6

import { useHistory } from "react-router-dom";
const history = useHistory();
history.push('/home')

import browserHistory from "history/createBrowserHistory";

use

const routermiddleware = routerMiddleware(browserHistory());
const history = syncHistoryWithStore(browserHistory(), store);

You are using version 4 of react-router.

Either downgrade the package or follow the instructions in this SO answer to make it work with v4.

You need to get browserHistory from the history module now.

import createHistory from 'history/createBrowserHistory'

Note that they changed the module API recently so if you are using the latest version the import slightly changed:

import { createBrowserHistory } from 'history'

I had the same problem and I wasted a couple of days to figure it out. This error happens simply because react-router v4 does not have the browserHistory (I don't know if that's a good thing or not though). I solved the issue by installing v3 like this:

npm install react-router@3 --save
