Issue installing react-reveal

I am new to react and I am even newer to typescript. I am working on this project right now and I need to use this specific git repository which is a typescript project. I want to add react-reveal so I can have some cool animations on my website but I get this error message. enter image description here

I am not sure why this specific library is not working because I have installed other librarys like reactstrap. If anyone could give me any information on how to get this to work or why this isn't working it would be much appreciated!

I found the problem, you must put this command in the terminal => npm config set legacy-peer-deps true

React-reveal doesn't seem to be actively maintained as it was last updated on August 2018.

Based on the error you received it looks that there is a library that is explicitly configured to only work with React v15 or v16. You could use a slightly older version of React that works with react-reveal. You're using React 17.0.2. You could try using React v16.14.0.

You could also follow the instructions in the error message - using the force option. Here is a link(npm: When to use `--force` and `--legacy-peer-deps`) that describes how that works.

A better way to go is search for a more popular actively maintained alternative like react-spring(https://react-spring.io/) or react-awesome-reveal(https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-awesome-reveal).
