1) From your main folder, delete:
a) package-lock.json file (or yarn.lock for yarn)
b) node_modules folder (from the terminal you can type 'rm -Rf node_modules')
2) Go to your package.json file and change these dependencies:
FROM
"react": "^18.0.0",
"react-dom": "^18.0.0",
TO
"react": "^17.0.0",
"react-dom": "^17.0.0",
(You can choose the exact version you want to install)
3) Go to index.js file (src/index.js) and edit it the following way:
a) Change the import part of index.js:
FROM
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client'
TO
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
(you just have to remove the '/client' from the import)
b) Change the below part of index.js:
FROM
const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root'));
root.render(
<React.StrictMode>
<App />
</React.StrictMode>
);
TO
ReactDOM.render(
<React.StrictMode>
<App />
</React.StrictMode>,
document.getElementById('root')
);
4) Open the terminal and run 'npm install' (or 'yarn install').
