  • You need to downgrade your React version to version 16 because react-particle-js requires React V16 as its peer-dependency Commented Mar 1, 2021 at 10:31
  • Or you can try --legacy-peer-deps option. Commented Mar 1, 2021 at 10:37
  • Or you can use react-tsparticles package (same core library, supports React 17) Commented Mar 1, 2021 at 22:39
  • thank you I have installed react version 17 + react version 16.8.4 and it works Commented Mar 3, 2021 at 10:42
