[email protected] requires a peer of react@^15 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself

Question

I have installed all required libraries using npm install and I also done npm install --save [email protected] but I am still getting this error.

My Package.json

  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "devDependencies": {
    "babel-core": "^6.2.1",
    "babel-loader": "^6.2.0",
    "babel-preset-es2015": "^6.1.18",
    "babel-preset-react": "^6.1.18",
    "chai": "^3.5.0",
    "chai-jquery": "^2.0.0",
    "jquery": "^2.2.1",
    "jsdom": "^8.1.0",
    "mocha": "^2.4.5",

  },
  "dependencies": {
    "babel-preset-stage-1": "^6.1.18",

  }

After updating react, redux, react-redux,and all I got no warnings but got following error after I ran npm start

> node ./node_modules/webpack-dev-server/bin/webpack-dev-server.js

events.js:160
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event

You need React in your package.json

Try the following in the folder where your package.json is placed:

npm install react --save

If react is already present in your package.json verify that the version is higher then 15.0.

If that's not fixing your error, please provide us your package.json
