Node.js dependencies incompatibility on Linux

Question

Consistently getting this error when I call "sudo npm install":

Peer react-dom@0.14.9 wants react@^0.14.9

Prior to this, I called sudo npm install react@0.14.9 and it installed without an issue.

I'm not sure why the React still flags this issue.

My guess is that you have react-dom under dependencies in your package.json but not the react package. When you do npm install , react-dom is being installed and by reading the dependencies , it realizes that you didn't include react in it and hence the warning.

Add react to your package.json manually or npm install react@0.14.9 --save .
