ERESOLVE overriding peer dependency -- can't install chakra-ui

[nikhilpatel87]

I created a project folder. Inside that folder I ran npx create-react-app react-app. After installation completed, I cd into the react-app and ran: npm install @chakra-ui/react. I also tried npm install @chakra-ui/core. Both commands started the install meter then stopped and gave this error:

npm WARN ERESOLVE overriding peer dependency
npm ERR! Cannot read property 'length' of undefined

I am not sure if this is a bug or which peer dependency this is referring to. I haven't made any modifications to the react app directory.

I'm getting the same error.
I'm pretty new to js but I think it has to do with the fact that chakra-ui needs to work with React 16 even though React 17 is the default install.

npm ERR! While resolving: [email protected]

npm ERR! Could not resolve dependency:

Looks like Chakra-ui has gotten stale. Not sure if the project is still active as there hasn't been a commit since 2019.

Actually, it looks like the project has moved to another repo ... https://github.com/chakra-ui/chakra-ui/
