NPM peer error when using React v18 - npm ERR! Could not resolve dependency:

[GeorgeFlorian]

My project uses react@"^18.2.0", and I get the following error: npm ERR! Could not resolve dependency: peer react@"^17.0.2" from [email protected] when trying to install this package.

Should I install it by force or maybe a bump in React version is coming in a future update ?

It doesn't work on React v18

I also have "react": "^18.2.0". I just used $ npm install --save react-chat-widget --legacy-peer-deps

When I install with --legacy-peer-deps, it worked on my local, but it wasn't able to build later on
