I'm very new to both gatsby and react. I'm making a Contact form and wanted to do it based on a tutorial that used components from react-bootstrap, however I don't know how to install it on my the gatsby starter I've deployed through my github repo.
My code to give an idea:
import React from 'react';
import Layout from '@common/Layout';
import Navbar from '@common/Navbar';
import Header from '@sections/Header';
import About from '@sections/About';
import Footer from '@sections/Footer';
import {Row, Col, Container, Form, Button} from "react-bootstrap"
const IndexPage = () => (
<Layout>
<Navbar />
<Header />
<About>
<Container>
<Form name= "contact v1" method="post" data-netlify="true" onSubmit="submit">
<input type="hidden" name="form-name" value="contact v1" />
<Row>
<Col>
<Form.Group>
<Form.Label>First Name </Form.Label>
<Form.Control required size="lg" type="text"/>
</Form.Group>
</Col>
<Col>
<Form.Group>
<Form.Label>Last Name </Form.Label>
<Form.Control required size="lg" type="text"/>
</Form.Group>
</Col>
</Row>
<Form.Group>
<Form.Label>How can we help? </Form.Label>
<Form.Control required as="textarea" rows="3" placeholder="What do you do?"/>
</Form.Group>
<Button type="submit"> Submit </Button>
</Form>
</Container>
</About>
<Footer />
</Layout>
);
export default IndexPage;
And this is the error when I deploy on Netlify
3:08:08 PM: failed Building production JavaScript and CSS bundles - 15.912s
3:08:08 PM: error Generating JavaScript bundles failed
3:08:08 PM: Can't resolve 'react-bootstrap' in '/opt/build/repo/src/pages'
3:08:08 PM: If you're trying to use a package make sure that 'react-bootstrap' is installed. If you're trying to use a local file make sure that the path is correct.

As you can see in the docs, just run:
npm install react-bootstrap bootstrap
Keep in mind that when you do:
import {Row, Col, Container, Form, Button} from "react-bootstrap"
You are importing the components from the node_modules
directory, specifically from react-bootstrap
folder, so you need to install the dependency first.
