Description
Description
When trying to install @pdf-viewer/react, npm fails due to a dependency conflict with pdfjs-dist. The package seems to require pdfjs-dist@^2.16.105 || ^3.0.279, but the latest versions (5.x) are incompatible, causing an ERESOLVE error.
Steps to Reproduce
npm i @pdf-viewer/reactError Log
npm error code ERESOLVE
npm error ERESOLVE could not resolve
npm error
npm error While resolving: @react-pdf-viewer/[email protected]
npm error Found: [email protected]

npm error Could not resolve dependency:
npm error peer pdfjs-dist@"^2.16.105 || ^3.0.279" from @react-pdf-viewer/[email protected]
