[Solved] React Dependency Error: Invalid tag name “^np.0.2“ of package “react@^np.0.2“: Tags may not have an

When writing the carousel diagram, you need to install dependencies. Execute the following command. When you execute, you report an error, saying that it is a version problem. After you reduce the version of react, you search the Internet. Later, when you execute NPM install, you report various dependency errors

  npm install --save react-swipeable-views
    npm install --save react-swipeable-views-utils

The following is the error message: read the error message and say it is a problem with the version of the files in node_modules, but there is still an error after trying to change them. I can only ask you for advice.

the following is the package.json file

Solution:

The dependent (@testing-library/react) version is relatively low, and it is useless. Just delete it and restart your computer.

Here is the package.json file after you solved the error
