npm install fails

Heya! Thanks again for making this :) I tried to build this extension locally, but had an error when running npm i. Any idea what's going on here? Thanks!

Hi @jahands, sorry for the trouble! I'm not exactly sure why this happens -

Can you try the following and see if it works?

1. Remove node_modules directory rm -rf node_modules
2. Set this config npm config set legacy-peer-deps true
3. Install dependencies again npm install

If the above doesn't work, can you try to install using the yarn package manager? It is what I use. If that works, it might help narrow the problem down.

npm i -g yarn # install yarn globally
yarn install # install project dependencies

I tested the npm config command and it seems to fix it. I updated package-lock.json so pulling the new version might cause you not to need that fix, but if it still causes an error this should fix it.

Let me know how it works out for you
