npm error while installing package in reactjs

When I try to install any npm package, I get the following error. And the installation gets stuck.

I've pasted the error below

Error msg:

This version of npm is compatible with lockfileVersion@1, but package-lock.json was generated for lockfileVersion@2. I'll try to do my best with it!

Error screenshot

Help me to solve this problem. Thanks in Advance.

The error message you mentioned is due to the fact that you are running an older version of npm. You are probably on v5 or v6 while your package-lock.json was generated with v7+.

However, that message is usually a warning, and not a final error. Would double check to see if you have other error messages as well.

More details for package-lock.json versions at: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/configuring-npm/package-lock-json#lockfileversion
