I've tried to install along with electron-react-boilerplate then got this error

npm install react-desktop --save

The package.json of the two projects don't have the same required react version. Just change it to the same version. It will not be officially supported by one of the two project, but you do not have a choice. I am assuming your are new to nodejs, because this problem appears very often.

@dzpt You can force npm to ignore peer dependency conflicts and install react-desktop anyway npm install react-desktop --save --legacy-peer-deps. However, be cautious with this approach as it might lead to runtime issues.

You can also use yarn, it doesn't have this issue
