how to fix npm install for react native - node.js

Question

i am using react native to build a app every time I try to install a npm package i have to use --force, or --legacy-peer-deps to make it install else i get error so i thought it is because of version of react in my pakgage.json so i dissided to downgrade my react to 17.0.1 from 18.1.0 and i deleted my pakage.lock.json and node modules and i tried npm i then I am getting this error i want to get a clean installation for react native
