How to fix "npm WARN unmet peer dependency: typescript@>=4.0.0"

1Install or align the peer package

Add the required peer at a compatible version:

bash
npm install typescript@">=4.0.0"
2Upgrade the package requiring the peer

Use a newer version that supports your peer version if you cannot downgrade the peer.

3Reinstall to update lockfile and dedupe

Clean and reinstall to settle versions:

bash
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json

Prefer resolving peers properly instead of suppressing warnings. In workspaces, ensure peers are hoisted or declared at the root so all packages see the same version.
