Trying to install npm react-facebook-login in my react app, but I keep getting dependency errors? That sounds scary and I don't want to force install something that can potentially break in the future. I'm new to javascript, what are some ways I should proceed?
I've tried clearing my npm cache and removing node modules and installing them again, however im still getting this error.

How can I overcome this without causing any future problems? Thank you for the help.
This error comes from version 7.x of npm. Please try again adding the --legacy-peer-deps option, as follows:
npm install react-facebook-login --legacy-peer-deps
