To Do First

• [x] Did you try latest release?
• [x] Did you look for existing matching issues?

Software Package Version:

hey guys, I used this command just right now npm install react-paypal-button-v2 --save and I get an error.

Describe the bug

the error is this

To Reproduce

I guess I can't use this package with my current version of react as I'm using version 17.0.1 , and I tried to install this package again with --force flag and it's been installed with a warning, it said

npm WARN using --force Recommended protections disabled.

added 6 packages, and audited 1974 packages in 15s

found 0 vulnerabilities

but I guess this maybe not the perfect solution for my problem, so what should I do to be able to use this package without all this scary errors and warnings?

Expected behavior

hopefully to install correctly without any errors or warnings

Screenshots

no need because I pasted the whole error from my console

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: windows 10 pro, version: 1709, OS build: 16299.1087
• Browser: chrome
• React Version: 17.0.1

Additional context that's it, there is nothing else to say.

I too am having this problem.

[YousifAbozid]

We are not alone in this situation, there is a lot of people complaining about this problem, and guess what? no one care about that, also I tried to add --force flag to install the package and trying to use it the process never complete, there is something wrong in PayPal and I can't do anything about it, so sad :(

[klleroy]

I'm thinking it's an npm issue rather than PayPal. I can install via yarn just fine.

[YousifAbozid]

Yeah, you are right it's npm issue, but actually I installed it anyway and use it in my payment component in my app and the payment doesn't complete for unknown reason, that's why I said that there is something wrong in PayPal, anyway I hope that anyone can solve this problem.

[GBrachetta]

I'm having exactly the same issue. Frustrating.

[YousifAbozid]

And till now after 2 months no one answer or offered to help.

[klleroy]

@YousifAbozid 100%. I think @Luehang has abandoned this repo.

[GBrachetta]

Apparently a new release (2.6.3) came up ½ hour ago and now I am able to install with npm.

[ivanoats]

FYI, in the future, or for react 18 currently, you can get around this with npm install [packagename] --legacy-peer-deps

[ivanoats]

@YousifAbozid can we close this issue since a new release is out, please?
