I am working with an older react app that was built by someone before and I am being asked to work on it. I'd like to update it from React 16.13.1 to React 17 that way I can install Material UI v5 for access to the new features. Whenever I try 'npm install react@17.0.0 react-dom@17.0.0' terminal command I get
npm ERR! code ERESOLVE

Can someone explain what this means. How I can fix it? Will it effect any previous code written?
