npm install react-navigation-stack@^1.10.3 gives error

Question

I installed react-navigation v4 and now I want to install react-navigation-stack@^1.10.3

So I ran npm install react-navigation-stack@^1.10.3 and this is the message I got:

npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: This version of React Navigation Stack is no longer supported. Please upgrade to 2.x.x. See https://reactnavigation.org/docs/4.x/upgrading-from-3.x#react-navigation-stack for instructions.

Try upgrading your react-navigation-stack version to 2.x.x, as it says in the first message:

This version of React Navigation Stack is no longer supported. Please upgrade to 2.x.x. See https://reactnavigation.org/docs/4.x/upgrading-from-3.x#react-navigation-stack for instructions.

Or try installing it like that:

npm install [email protected]

I wouldn't recommend you installing deprecated libraries even if you really want to, because usually there is a big reason behind when some package version goes deprecated.

From the link above:

Note: The alpha versions for 2.0 used Reanimated for the animations. We've replaced Reanimated with React Native's Animated API in the stable release. If you did any custom animations with the alpha, please migrate your code to the Animated API.
