is this important?

I used

npm install react-google-login --legacy-peer-deps

to solve this.

Answer 1

According to the error message, react-google-login requires react 16 or 17 (with an arbitrary minor version), but your project has react 18.2.0.

You can solve the error by explicitly installing an older version, e.g.:

npm install react@17
