Installing React-Bootstrap - npm i fsevents ERROR

1

I was trying to install React-Bootstrap it but gave me this error:

fsevents wanted {“os”:“darwin”,“arch”:“any”}
npm i -f?

> $ npm install --save react-bootstrap

What commands should I type in to install fsevents?
npm i name-peer-dependency is giving me errors.
I typed in this to install create the react app:
npx create-app-react new-app
So I think it should have installed both React js and DOMReact

your react-bootstrap installation is fine, it just didn’t install fsevents which is optional.

You are erroring out because

it wants linux distro instead of your current windows.

I would just google it.

3

npm i linux-distro, like so?

4

nope, it’s talking about your os (operating system) so that’s not gonna work.

Ok, so the Bootstrap installation is fine but when I try to import Bootstrap in the index.js it says that ‘Bootstrap’ is declared but its value is never read.

Yes, because you probably haven’t used anything from Bootstrap in your project.

Looks like you are using create-react-app. I would put import bootstrap statement in app.js instead of index.js and start using any bootstrap components in there.

7

There is no css file in the react-boostap folder, is that normal?
Everything has a js extension.

8

I am not sure, I have never used react-bootstrap. Maybe someone with knowledge can pitch in.

Anyway it works, I have just to import the element of Boostrap that I want in a React Component and I can use it right away.
Thank you for your help.
