npm install fails (unable to resolve dependency tree)

Trying to reduce any changing variables and using a fresh pull of my code. They are no node-module packages or package-lock.json. I run npm install I get this error:

npm ERR! code ERESOLVE
npm ERR! ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree
npm ERR!
npm ERR! While resolving: undefined@undefined
npm ERR! Found: [email protected]
npm ERR! node_modules/react-native-screens

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:

If I do an install via --force or npm install --legacy-peer-deps I get a bunch of files mark as outdated and when I run npm update I get the same error. I have tried clearning the cache of my npm as well with no luck npm cache clean. I don't know why this is happening as there is no node-module folder or anything installed for it to give error under my node_modules/react-native-screens...they are no node_modules folder yet. What is causing this and how can I fix it?

Edit: I ran npm update -g , then npm audit fix and then I got an error:

code ERESOLVE
ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree

While resolving: Sculp latest app@undefined
Found: [email protected]
node_modules/react-native-screens
react-native-screens@“~2.15.0” from the root project

so I ran expo install react-native-screens and saw that it couldn't find expo...checked my folder and my node_module folder is missing. Like if it never was there or gotten installed.

edit: I have tried all the methods listed below and it gives random errors that I can not fix it undefined is not an object (evaluating ‘_core.ThemeColors.light’) and I have googled this and one of the main solutions is delete npm and package-lock.json and reinstall but that brings me back to where I started.

Try this:

npm config set legacy-peer-deps true

Note: this will set this flag permanently

For one time:

npm install --save --legacy-peer-deps

Try it in the following:

npm add react-native
expo install (your needed module)

You can use --force in the command line, but you will problably have to deal with a broken react-native dependency later. Anyway, there are other ways of dealing with this broken dependency.

Try to copy your src folder and package.json file and initialize another react-native (new) and replace the source the src folder and package.json file and reenter npm install.
