Answer 1

On some old projects running npm install with legacy peer dependencies flag helps me

npm install --legacy-peer-deps

Answer 2

I faced the same error recently. Here's how you can fix it

1. Delete the node_modules directory
2. Open PowerShell(not command prompt) and run npm i

If it doesn't work, delete package-lock.json and then try the above steps again.
