Fails to install in React 17

[stesvis]

I am not sure why, but I am not able to install the package due to ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree.
Here's the full error list:

npm ERR! code ERESOLVE

I am kinda new with React so forgive me if the log clearly shows what's wrong and I just can't see it.

I also have problem with installation.
after install,

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'fn')

@stesvis try with npm i react-owl-carousel --legacy-peer-deps

@rameshparajuli You need to inject a global window.jQuery first.

e.g. webpack

// ...
plugins: [
    // other plugins,
    new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
        $: 'jquery',
        jQuery: 'jquery',
        'window.jQuery': 'jquery'
    }),
],
//...

I'm getting an error like this:

this is my code importing jquery lib globaly:

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react'
import jQuery from "jquery";
import inject from '@rollup/plugin-inject'

// https://vitejs.dev/config/
export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [react(),
  	inject({
      $: 'jquery', // this caused warnings for all my scss files that had $variable
      jQuery: 'jquery',
    }),
  ],
})
